Wave Setup on a Sloping Beach.

Abstract

This report combines the material previously presented in Sections 2.62 and 3.85 of the Shore Protection Manual. Computation of wave setup on beaches as steep as 1 on 10 (m=0.01) can be easily determined by graphical means when incident wave conditions are defined. Practical applications are discussed and two example problems are provided. (Author)
