Perforated vertical wall as a waterfront structure
Abstract
It is initially stated that a perforated vertical wall is a waterfront structure which influences the size of reflected waves, and hence the size of waves in front of the coast, the incidence of spilling over the structure, structure loading level, and erosion at foundation level. Authors present some existing structures as well as laboratory testing conducted on perforated structures, in order to analyse reflective properties of such structures, i.e. their characteristics relating to shape and geometry.
