Published and unpublished reports dealing with transportable (also referred to as 'portable' and 'mobile') breakwaters were reviewed to collect performance data for a wide variety of configurations. Data on 106 concepts were assembled into an outline classification of transportable breakwaters on the basis of structural form. The various configurations are shown in sketches and their performance data are summarized. This state-of-the-art survey establishes a data base to aid in assessing the feasibility of developing an effective, mobile system for use in areas fully exposed to ocean waves. (Author)
