| Summary: | The development of erosion control structures as a mitigation to maintain the open coast beaches has grew well throughout the years. Breakwater is one of the methods to address the problem where it functions by reducing wave energy transmitted at the shoreline. The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior and stability of the reshaping breakwater subject to the variations of wave characteristics. Apart from that, this research study is conducted to get a better understanding on how the reshaped profile will obtain its stability. The gradation and shape of the armor stone used as well as the design cross section of the physical model have been initially set as independent parameters. |
