Abstract
The results of an experimental investigation on the damping action of submerged rectangular breakwaters are presented. The experimental data also are compared with published theories. A new theory is presented which compares more favorably with the experiments than the previous theories. Also given is a summary of all available published theoretical and experimental information on the damping action of trapezoidal and triangular breakwaters, reefs of various configurations, and plane barriers of various orientations.Keywords
