APPENDIX 



TEST RESULTS 



The incident wave heights, transmitted wave heights, and peak and 

 average loads measured during all tests are presented in Tables A-1, 

 A-2, and A-3. Wave height measurements are to the nearest even centi- 

 meter and the loads are in fotaj, pounds recorded at the load cell. 



Since several test conditions were repeated to assure quality control 

 during the experiment, a composite incident wave height, transmitted wave 

 height, and peak and average loads were determined for each stroke and 

 wave period setting (Tables A-4, A-5, and A-63 . The transmission coeffi- 

 cient, K^, was obtained by dividing the transmitted wave height, H^, 

 by the incident height, H^ . The wavelength, L, was calculated using 

 linear wave theory and the wave steepness, H^/L was found by dividing 

 the incident height by the wavelength. W/L represents the ratio of the 

 the breakwater width to the wavelength. Peak force, Fp, and average 

 force, F^, are given in kilograms per meter of breakwater length par- 

 allel to the wave crest and uncorrected for the slope of the mooring line.
