TLDR
In this article, both breakwater distance from the shoreline and the gap between successive breakwaters are shown to be important factors in determining the amount of sand that can be entrapped by entrapping.Abstract:

Coastal erosion and control
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the coastal cell concept to deal with coastal erosion by identifying and analysing the sediment volumes accumulated in large-scale and small-scale coastal cells at various sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intercomparison of coastal area morphodynamic models
TL;DR: In this paper, five different coastal area morphodynamic models have been set up to run on the same offshore breakwater layout and an intercomparison carried out on the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic output produced by each scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shoreline Changes behind Detached Breakwater
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of experiments were conducted to study shoreline changes caused by the presence of a detached breakwater under the influence of pure wave action, where the breakwater length and its distance from the initial shoreline were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of the effects of offshore breakwater parameters on sediment accumulation
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of offshore breakwater parameters (length, distance and gap), wave parameters (height, period and angle) and on sediment accumulation ratio, one researched in a physical model.

Engineering Design Guidance for Detached Breakwaters as Shoreline Stabilization Structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present design knowledge for both the functional and structural design of detached breakwaters for shoreline stabilization, and provide guidance on the use of low-crested rubble-mound breakwater for wetland development purposes.

Offshore artificial structures and their influence on the israel and sinai mediterranean beaches
TL;DR: In this paper, the Israel Mediterranean shore is characterized by kurkar cliffs and narrow sandy beaches, bounded by the Akko promontory, and by the Carmel "nose" on the south.
Sedimentological Influences of Detached Breakwaters
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that a morphologic and sedimentologic equilibrium is reached behind a detached breakwater, when the shape of the contour lines becomes such, that along the sheltered beach the diffracted waves have components of momentum opposed to the gradients of the mean sea level induced by radiation stress due to non uniform wave fronts approaching from both sides of the breakwater.

Design of a detached breakwater system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have proposed and tried to apply the detached breakwater system as a measure against beach erosion for the last 8 years, which is for the purpose of developing the sand deposition behind the breakwater.

Model study on the change op shoreline of sandy beach by ihe offshore breakwater
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present some results of experiment made to clarify the changes of shoreline taken place by the construction of offshore breakwater, the amount of sand deposits within the region sheltered by the breakwater and the sand movement at the sandy beach through the progress of beach deformation up to the accomplishment of the equilibrium profile.
Variation of Foreshore Due to Detached Breakwaters
TL;DR: The length of seawalls for beach erosion amounts to 5,600 kilometers as mentioned in this paper, which is much longer than the length of seadikes for flood tide, which is 2,900 kilometers.
