Abstract
    This report describes the test results of two-dimensional physical model investigations to study wave run-up and wave overtopping for situations with shallow foreshores. The shapes of the wave energy spectra were varied and also the water depth, the slope of the foreshore and the slope of the structure. The results were also analysed by comparisons with predictive methods for the wave height distribution, the wave run-up levels and the wave overtopping discharges. New formulae, which can also be used in situations with shallow foreshores, have been calibrated.
