 DAMAGE MEASUREMENTS 



5.1 Overview 



In all, five test series were conducted with two structures in the flume within 

 this initial experiment. The first test was not repeated. The other four series included 

 two originals and two repeats; so three unique series were conducted and will be 

 described in Chapters 5 and 6: Series A',B\ and C. As noted earlier, additional test 

 series were added to investigate wave period and armor gradation and they are discussed 

 in Chapter 7. Table 5.1 describes the test sequences for Series A', B\ and C. Tables Bl 

 through B3 in Appendix B provide a more detailed summary of the Series A', B', and C.
