EVALUATION OF DESIGN WAVES ALONG THE COAST AND AT THE INLETS OF THE VENICE LAGOON

[摘要] The prevention of flooding inside the Venice lagoon requires a system to disconnect the North Adriatic sea and the lagoon hydraulically in order to control water level. This paper describe the method followed to define design wave conditions to support the design of the new storm surge barriers. The derivation of design waves was not straightforward because of the presence of an extended continental platform and irregular geografic boundaries.
