Abstract
    Physical model tests have been carried out at Flanders Hydraulics Research (FHR) and Ghent University to assess wave overtopping and forces on storm return walls foreseen in the Raversijde-Mariakerke- Wellington west area, along the Belgian coast. The experimental campaigns support the design of the sea dike upgrade in the aforementioned area. In particular, the minimum layout (wall height and location) was defined able to guarantee overtopping discharge within the limit of 1 l/s/m. The measurement of wave forces was then requested to finalise the design of the storm walls and their foundations. BFacilities at FHR and UGent were both deployed.
