14 A report about the role of sea-dykes (revetments) in the 24 tsunami attack.. However, on Male Island, which is the national capital of the Republic of Maldives, revetments and other structures have been constructed around the island. The island was relatively unaffected by the Sumatra tsunami because these revetments helped protect the island from inundation.

16 The objectives Tsunami run-up and overflow when there are sea-dykes (revetments) protecting the coast Hydrodynamics around the sea dykes (revetments) and the overflow field in a tsunami attack 16

17 Preliminary results by taking advantage of consulting projects that originally aimed to investigate the stability of sea-dykes under storm wave conditions
