Laboratory assessment of a fixed box-type breakwater as temporary coastal protection against wave actions / Ilmi Fatihah Sazali and Nuryazmeen Farhan Haron

Coastal areas are vulnerable to the erosive forces of waves, particularly during storm events. Temporary coastal protection measures are often necessary to mitigate damage while permanent solutions are being developed. This study investigates the effectiveness of a fixed box-type breakwater as a tem...

Laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the performance of the breakwater under varying wave conditions. The wave attenuation performance of the proposed breakwater was tested in a series of early experiments in a two-dimensional (2D) wave flume under various conditions, including frequency and wave periods for different models (FB1 without membrane, FB2 with a single 46cm membrane, FB3 with 46cm and 56cm double membranes, and FB4 with a single 56cm membrane).
