| Description: | Technical Memorandum From the Introduction: The purpose of this laboratory study is to determine and evaluate the relationships between wave height, water depth, impermeable slope angle, and the maximum elevation reached by a wave running up the slope. The investigation was carried out using a solitary type wave, therefore the data cannot necessarily be extrapolated to the case of a train of oscillatory waves. Incidental data relative to wave velocity became available during the tests. |
