Berm breakwater structures: Results of berm breakwater tests with special attention to the influence of the rock shape on the longshore transport

The report summaries the 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 in a tree-dimensional model in Jan.-Feb. 96' at The Hydraulics Laboratory, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Aalborg.
