Özet:In the present thesis the performance of box type floating breakwaters (FBs) with screens under regular waves is examined experimentally in a wave flume. The experiments were conducted in the Coastal and Harbor Engineering Laboratory wave flume, Civil Engineering Department, Middle East Technical University, Ankara. The influence of incident wave characteristics and certain geometric characteristics, such as the width and draft of the structure, on its effciency is examined. Three different widths of the structure in combination with three different screen (draft) height, a total of nine different cases, of FBs are examined. Results related to transmission and reflection of the incident regular waves on the structure are presented. According to the results, for all structures drafts and structure widths, as h/L increase (wave period and wave height decreases) Kt values decrease. Also, Kt values obtained for chain moored floating breakwaters are larger than the Kt values of fixed cases consistently.
