Facing increasing climate change threats like rising sea levels and intense storms, adapting coastal defense structures has become crucial. This study investigates the use of Stilling Wave Basins (SWB) on slope structures to mitigate wave overtopping, a cost-effective solution that avoids raising crest levels. SWBs are designed to capture and dissipate wave energy, reducing overtopping risks. The research reviews various formulae on SWBs and evaluates their efficacy, utilizing datasets from prior studies. This data-driven approach proposes a reduction factor accounting for the SWB impact. The study underscores the significance of SWBs in enhancing coastal resilience but emphasizes the need for meticulous design considerations.
