Abstract

The present report summarizes the test results obtained with a berm breakwater attacked by oblique waves. In the tests special attention is given to the influence of the rock shape on the longshore transport. Moreover, the reshaping berm profile and amount of wave overtopping is examined.

The tests were performed with a three-dimensional model during Jan.-Feb. 1996 in The Hydraulics & Coastal Engineering Laboratory, the Department of Civil Engineering, Aalborg University.
