Summary:The experimental study has been carried out to clarify the characteristics of wave overtopping of the gentle slope seawalls which have 1: 3 front grade with wave dissipating blocks, considering the wave direction to the seawall. The result of the experiment clarified the total flow volume on a condition of certain wave direction to the seawall and certain crown hights of the seawalls. As the result of the study, we obtained some useful figures from which the amount of wave overtopping flow at arbitrary wave direction to the seawall can be presumed.They are expected to be utilize to settle a crown hight of a seawalls.
