Abstract
    Increasing sea water levels and storminess has intensified the need for structural measures to reduce wave overtopping without significantly raising the height of the wall. The use of recurves / wave return walls / parapets on vertical walls has been shown capable of significantly reducing wave overtopping, but may increase wave loading. Many parapet / recurve solutions have been used in practice, but no general guidance on their design are yet available. In this paper a significant amount of data have been gathered together under the EC CLASH project (EU project no. EVK3- CT-2001-00058) and studied more systematically for the first time. The paper discusses problems with systematic approaches to both overtopping and wave loading. It concludes with a simple reduction factor for wave overtopping depending on geometrical dimensions of the parapets and some guidance on wave loading for these cases.
