Effect of wave storm representation on damage measurements of breakwaters

In this work, the effects of storm representation on damage measurements of a breakwater are studied in a small-scale physical wave flume. In particular, a two-layer breakwater with cubic armor units randomly placed is considered. A storm recorded in the Mediterranean Sea is the basis to analyze the...
