Abstract
This technical note shows some results of a small-scale field experiment on Boccotti’s submerged caisson breakwater, which absorbs wave energy and is able to defend a coast with a very small environmental impact. The experiment on the 1:10 scale model of a caisson of this breakwater was carried out on a 2.6-m -deep seabed. All the records of the experiment confirm that it is possible to obtain a strong natural resonance between the random process of wave pressure at the outer opening of the caisson and the random process of oscillations inside the caisson. Finally, a test of the computational algorithm is given by means of the output of the field experiment, and a procedure for tuning the plant is also given.
