Abstract

In the present paper small and large scale overtopping data for rubble mound structures have been analysed with respect to single wave overtopping volumes and their travel distance. The analysis has led to formulae for estimation of maximum single wave overtopping volumes and their travel distance. The estimation of the maximum single wave overtopping volume is based on the total overtopping volume and the number of overtopping waves within a given time (e.g. 1000 waves). The spatial distribution of the overtopping water in the wave giving the largest overtopping volume was found to be very similar to the spatial distribution of the total overtopping volume in a sea state.
