Abstract
A series of experimental tests on a 2D movable-bed physical model of the protected sandy beach of Gabicce Mare, on the central Adriatic Sea in Italy, is described. Three emerged and three submerged configurations of rubble-mound detached breakwaters, for beach protection, placed at different positions, were tested in the Ancona (Italy) wave flume and the obtained results were compared with those found for a structure-free configuration. Both wave dissipation and reduction of beach erosion efficiency under various wave conditions were obtained and, in particular, the short-term hydro-morphodynamic response of the different tested breakwater configurations.
