Current empirical predictions formulae for the estimation of overtopping characteristics are mainly based on the laboratory measurements. Since most of the parametric studies have been performed in the laboratory using a fixed impermeable beach, there may be an existence of uncertainties in the application of current empirical prediction methods to the vertical seawalls on a permeable shingle beach. The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the influence of permeable shingle beds in the overtopping characteristics at vertical walls, and to develop the design guidance for the estimation of wave overtopping at vertical walls with a shingle foreshore.
