Performance-Based Design Methodology for Using Emergent Vegetation to Mitigate Wave Overtopping

Creator:: Ostrow, Kayla
Abstract:: To facilitate the design of Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) for flood protection, this thesis expands an existing engineering design methodology to NNBF systems. The existing approach is a Level III reliability method for the performance-based design of traditional coastal engineering systems. The expanded methodology incorporates uncertainties inherent to both...
