13.12 feet). Monochromatic waves with a 2.64- to 8.25-second period range 

 and heights up to 1.4 meters (4.6 feet) were used in the tests. 



Test results indicate that wave transmission is mainly a function of 

 the breakwater width to incident wavelength ratio with a slight dependence 

 on the incident wave height. However, the mooring forces are mainly a 

 function of the incident wave height with only a slight dependence on the 

 incident wavelength and breakwater width. Recommended design curves for 

 the wave transmission coefficient versus breakwater width to wavelength 

 ratio and mooring load as a function of incident wave height are presented.
