Wave-breaking barrier for dissipating the energy of incoming waves near coasts.

摘要

A wave-breaking barrier for dissipating the energy of incoming waves near sea shores or the like. The barrier is made up of modular supports (1, 1a) to which longitudinal elements in the form of girders (9) are fixed transversely to form a first inclined portion (5a) facing the open sea and simulating a sudden rise in the sea bed (6) which causes an initial breaking of the incoming wave and a second horizontal portion (4a) nearer the coast than the inclined portion (5a). This latter portion (4a) dissipates the energy of the wave. <IMAGE>
