General considerations with reference to erection of permanent breakwaters; author has accepted theory of BAGNOLD of internal mechanism of breaking wave and dovetailed it into results of full-scale experiments and observations of acknowledged authorities; expression for maximum total pressure of breaking wave against obstruction is given in terms which assist engineer to proportion profile of proposed breakwater.
