Abstract
In this paper, three classical overtopping models: Owen model, Van der Meer & Janssen model and Hedges & Reis model were used to calculate the failure probability of wave overtopping of seawalls. Among of them, the Hedges & Reis model was regarded as a moderate method to analyze the failure probability of wave overtopping of seawalls and the probabilistic assessments of wave overtopping were carried out for a constructing seawall at Busan in Korea by Level II and Level III reliability methods. Considering the cost of construction, an appropriate crest level was proposed for a certain rate of wave overtopping at a lower failure probability.
