Crest modifications are widely used to reduce the wave overtopping over coastal structures where spatial and visual demands restrict the crest heights, especially in urban areas. In the literature, there is limited information regarding the vertical structures. This paper presents the experimental set-up of wave overtopping tests for a vertical wall with several different superstructure types: seaward storm wall, sloping promenade, landward storm wall, stilling wave basin (SWB), e) seaward storm wall with parapet, landward storm wall on the horizontal promenade with parapet, landward storm wall with parapet, stilling wave basin with parapet, under breaking wave conditions.
