Tests were carried out in a wave basin to study the effect of 

 groins on a beach that was stable for a particular wave climate and 

 a given supply of littoral material. The main result showed that 

 on the part of the beach between H.W. and L.W. level the groins 

 produced no buildup. The only buildup that occurred took place 

 seaward of the impermeable groins. Permeable groins had little 

 effect either inshore or offshore.

Results of an experimental study of the hydraulic behavior of 

 groin systems are described. Characteristics of the evolution of 

 beach stretches between groins under action of waves with different 

 obliquity, heights and periods are defined. Results obtained are 

 intended for design of systems of functional groins which secure an 

 adequate partition of the beach in satisfactory hydraulic conditions, 

 and also meeting use requirements, notably from the architectural 

 and recreation standpoints. The author briefly discusses longshore 

 transport, and presents some experimental conclusions on the 

 relations between longshore drift and the characteristics of the 

 waves.
