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 m0.01 can be easily determined by graphical means when incident wave conditions are defined. Practical applications are discussed and two example problems are provided. Author
