dc.description.abstractA hydraulic model investigation of proposed breakwater modifications to King Harbor, Redondo Beach, California, was conducted at a geometrically undistorted scale of 1:35, model to prototype. Five breakwater cross sections were each subjected to 15 design wave and water-level conditions. Plans I through 3 consisted of variations of armor unit size on the rehabilitation sections. A transition layer of small stones was included in Plans 4 and 5 to reduce wave transmission. Data collected were displaced stones, qualitative overtopping observations, and wave transmission. Plan 5 gave the best combination of stability and reduction of wave transmission.en_US
