Report on destructive overtopping tests executed with the wave overtopping simulator along the coast of Vietnam to investigate the strength of the inner slopes of grass dikes. This report presents measurement and observation results obtained during destructive tests with the simulator in Do Son, Thinh Long and Thai Thuy. After the first chapter, Chapeter 2 discribes all test sections in detail and test scenario. The method and results of hydraulic measurements are presented in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 introduce the slope profiles and photograph of grass slopes. The formation and development of the damages induced by wave overtopping are discussed in Chapter 6. Chapter 7 deals with the resistance against wave overtopping and critical velocity of different grass covered slopes which were tested with the simulator. Finally, Chapter 8 are conclusions and future research, respectively. Detail of hydraulic measurement performed at three sea dikes are given in Appendix A. Data of the slope profiles measured at Thinh Long and Thai Thuy are presented in Appendix B. Appendix C contents of the photograph of the damages on the slope sections at Thinh Long and Thai Thuy sea dike. Characteristics of soil and grass taken at test sections are given in Appendix D. Appendix E summarises brief specifications of all test sections.
