In this paper, the preliminary results of an experimental campaign aiming at investigating the wave forces on a composite vertical breakwater are presented. Specifically, the influence of the position of the wave wall are considered. Four different retreated wall configurations have been tested under regular wave conditions aiming at providing a first experimental insight on the reduction/increase of the forces/pressures acting on the whole structure, the wall and the caisson trunk due to the wall retreat.

Abstract
In this paper, the preliminary results of an experimental campaign aiming at investigating the wave forces on a composite vertical breakwater are presented. Specifically, the influence of the position of the wave wall are considered. Four different retreated wall configurations have been tested under regular wave conditions aiming at providing a first experimental insight on the reduction/increase of the forces/pressures acting on the whole structure, the wall and the caisson trunk due to the wall retreat.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
