Wave Transmission over the Low-Crested Sand Container Breakwaters
Breakwaters made of sand container is one of the most economical options for wave protection at coastal areas. These breakwaters have been adopted with mixed success at several locations in Malaysia. Nevertheless, the performance of these structure has not been properly studied and documented to date. This study is undertaken to study the wave transmission ability of the submerged sand container breakwater with respect to its width and height as well as the water depth. A number of experiments have been conducted in a wave flume to quantify the wave transmission coefficient of the test models of different layouts when exposed to regular waves. The experimental result has shown that the breakwater is effective in arresting the shorter period waves, particularly in shallow water. The height of the breakwater has to be increased in order to arrest the longer period waves.
