Description	This project addresses the challenge of predicting the response of urban coastal walls to extreme sea conditions under future climate change scenarios. Many of these structures are exposed and sensitive to sea level rise and increased storm surges. Through a semi-empirical physical model, the project aims to improve existing prediction models and study structural behavior through large-scale experimental tests and advanced numerical modeling. The results will favor a paradigm shift in the understanding of wave-structure interaction in urban areas.
