Abstract
The breakwater according to the present invention is formed from a body on which the waves hit, and comprising a plurality of surfaces, each of which has a different inclination, said inclinations defining different angles with respect to the horizontal. The angle defined by each surface increases from the front surface to the rear surface, and the length of each surface is different, decreasing from the front surface to the rear surface. It allows to provide a breakwater in which most of the wave energy returns to the sea, so that only a small part is dissipated in the breakwater.
Claims13
A breakwater device, comprising a body, wherein waves hit the body, wherein the body comprises a plurality of surfaces, wherein each surface comprises a different slope, disposed at different angles with respect to a horizontal plane, the plurality of surfaces comprising:
- a front surface;
- a plurality of intermediate surfaces;
- and
- a rear surface
- wherein the angle of each surface increases from the front surface to the rear surface.
