How Extreme Storms Threaten Dike Integrity: Modelling the Impact of Repeated Wave Loading

Extreme storm events threaten the structural integrity of dikes. The periodic impacts of waves cause the revetment of dikes to wear and eventually tear. Otherwise, earthen dikes are typically covered by grass, stone or asphalt in the wave impact zone. The choice in material depends on the degree of wave loading.   The failure of theView problem details
