Rubble mount coastal structures are commonly used for protecting coastal utilities. Under storm conditions or extreme conditions, long waves attack those structures and cause overtopping. This overtopping phenomenon often results in water flow at the back side of the structure which consequently causes scour. In this thesis, different solitary-like waves and the backfill conditions are studied to understand the level of overtopping and maximum scour depth behind the structure due to the solitary-like wave caused by overtopping. The relation between the scour and sediment characteristics, wave, and overtopping conditions are investigated and dimensionless figures are developed for the generalization of the results in the range of physical experiments. The main finding of this study is that average overtopping discharge is directly related to the maximum scour behind the revetment structure. Another finding is that grain size diameter of the backfill material and backfill height are governing parameters of scour. Moreover, it is investigated that number of overtopped solitary-like waves causes a gradual increase in scour depth for the first few attacks of solitary waves, and then the increment becomes less for the rest of the wave attacks.

The effect of an emergent vegetation (i.e. Phragmistes Australis) on wave attenuation and wave kinematics Akgul, M. Adil; Yilmazer, Didem; Oğuz, Elif; Kabdaşlı, Mehmet Sedat; Yağcı, Oral (2013-01-01) Coastal vegetation acts as a natural barrier at many coastal zones, protecting the landside against wave effects and coastal erosion. It is known that coastal vegetation affects wave properties, and studies regarding this topic have been made in a wide variety, mostly focusing on wave attenuation. In this study, laboratory experiments have been conducted in a wave basin to inspect the effect of an emergent vegetation on wave attenuation, wave transformation and wave kinematics. A blank area is present along...
Creep modelling study of a surface support liner Güner, Doğukan; Öztürk, Hasan (2018-06-24) Surface supports are widely used in underground excavations. Since conventional surface support liners have inherently-brittle characteristics and require longer curing period, an alternative support system using polymer based surface support liner, thin spray-on liners (TSLs), has been observed to have a promising ductile and fast-curing potential for underground operations. TSLs can exhibit a good performance for highly-stressed, deep, rock bursting conditions as well when used together with rock bolts an...
Optimum topology design of various geometrically nonlinear latticed domes using improved harmony search method Carbas, Serdar; Saka, Mehmet P. (2012-03-01) Domes are elegant and economical structures used in covering large areas. They are built in various forms. According to their form, they are given special names such as lamella, network, and geodesic domes. In this paper, optimum topological design algorithm is presented that determines the optimum number of rings, the optimum height of crown and tubular section designations for the member groups of these domes. The design algorithm developed has a routine that generates the data required for the geometry o...
Adaptation measures for seawalls to withstand sea-level rise Kisacik, Dogan; Özyurt Tarakcıoğlu, Gülizar; Cappietti, Lorenzo (2022-04-15) © 2022 Elsevier LtdSea level rise necessitates adaptation measures for coastal protection structures like seawalls as changes in the design conditions will generate higher wave overtopping discharges and coastal flooding. Although increasing crest height is a common measure, the recreational function of urban seawalls limits the applicability. In this paper, performance on overtopping control of crest modifications such as storm walls, parapets, promenade, and stilling wave basin (SWB), are studied for simp...
A case study on the submerged berm type coastal defense structures Özler, Başar; Ergin, Ayşen; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) Coastal defense structures are built in order to protect valuable coastal regions from the destructive effects of the waves. Due to the cost of coastal defense structures and the economical potential of the coastal regions, failure of such structures could cause loss of high amounts of investment. Therefore in the design and construction of coastal structures, it is of vital importance to achieve an optimum design which is not neither underdesigned nor overdesigned. In this study, Submerged Berm type coasta...
