10 Developments after CLASH: Wave Transmission DELOS project ( ) database: more than tests on wave transmission behind low crested structures. ANN Van Oosten & Peixó Marco (2005) MsCTUDelft ANN by Panizzo & Briganti (2007) DELOS project With respect to CLASH Less tests available (2 000 instead of ) LCSs are simpler structures to be schematized A simpler ANN architecture is required 6 input parameters

21 The advances with the ANN Comparison of the CLASH and THESEUS ANNs to predict overtopping, reflection and transmission. Qualitative and quantitative analysis (ICCE 2014). Selection of the input parameters for the advanced NN and sensitivity analysis. Revision and optimization of the architecture: Use of the bootstrapping resampling technique based on RF, CF as in CLASH (Van Gent, Verhaeghe) Training on 100% of the database no early stopping (Verhaeghe). Average results and reliability indication (confidence intervals) from the commitment of networks (500).

32 Conclusions and further work A new extended database ( tests) based on CLASH (2004) database was prepared including D, q, Kr and Kt where available include q, include Kr and include Kt; include both q and Kr; include both Kr and Kt. The use of dimensionless parameters based on physical considerations showed an improved prediction capability of q, Kr and Kt. The advanced ANN can predict q, Kr and Kt for one structure schematisation (easy for design purposes). Plan to distribute the.exe file in a user friendly environment.
