Experimental Setup Flume and structure The experiment was accomplished using two identical side-by-side structures constructed in a flume measuring long, m wide, and m high (Figure ). The structure cross sections are shown in Figures and Each m-wide structure was constructed on a flat bottom. The offshore concrete beach slope was 1 V:20H.
