A Graphical Method for Checking the Design Height of Structures 

 Subjected to Wave Run-up 



This article presents a method for checking whether or not a 

 shore structure design is adequate by computing a "critical profile" 

 which, when plotted on transparent paper, can be overlaid on field 

 profile plots to determine if runup from expected waves will exceed 

 the structure height. Written by Rudolph P. Savage.
