Figure 8-t: Wave Run-UpBased on the design wave height at the toe of the slope, the calculations forwave run-up are as follows (Note: that these calculations may be performed inmetric or standard units, but that these units may not be mixed).The run-up on the surface is calculated using the following definitions:• Peak wave period (Tp)• Deep water significant wave height (Hm0)• Wave height at the toe of the slope (Htoe)• Structure slope (rs)In contrast to the slope on a beach, the slope on a structure may take any valueup to 1.0 (corresponding to a 1H:1V slope). For example, the slope for a 2H:1V structure would be 0.5. The procedure is as follows:• Calculate the deep-water wavelength, in feet using Equation 16.8L0g 2 T p(Equation 16.8)2• Calculate the surf similarity parameter for the protective structure (Equation16.9)L0 s 0 r s(Equation 16.9)Hm0CHAPTER 8: Shorezone Protective Structures and <strong>BMP</strong>sTRPA <strong>BMP</strong> HandbookPage 8-104 2012
