Program Description, Equations, Variables, etc. 



This algorithm computes the depth-limited breaking wave height at a struc- 

 ture for design purposes. It can be used in lieu of Figure 7-4 of the Shore 

 Protection Manual. The equation for the curves in Figure 7-A is not given 

 in the SPM but can be found by simultaneous solution of SPM equations (2-91) , 

 (2-92), (2-93), (7-3), and (7-4). Input is wave period, T, and water depth 

 at the structure toe, ds. The development of the equation is derived on the 

 attached solution sheet. Algorithm uses English or metric system of units.
