Abstract
Gravel beaches are present along the coast, both as natural and artificial beaches. Laboratory data on the behavior of gravel nourishments, especially in presence of submerged detached breakwaters as a protection against erosion, are very few in the literature. This study is presenting and analyzing a set of laboratory tests where gravel beaches are reproduced under different wave attacks. The influence of gravel size and of type of beach profiles (natural beach or beach protected by a submerged breakwaters) are measured and discussed.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
