MODULAR COAST PROTECTION STRUCTURE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC E02B3/04 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: proposed invention relates to hydraulic engineering construction and may be used as a coast protection structure to prevent erosion of sea shores. A modular coast protection structure comprises through breakwaters installed in a water reservoir in a staggered manner. Each breakwater has four stands in the form of right-angled triangles, tops of angles of which are rigidly connected to each other by three links to form a frame. The face of the frame formed by triangle hypotenuses is installed on the sea bottom. The face of the frame forming a reflecting surface makes the angle of 20 - 35° in respect to the bottom. On the reflecting surface, with an interval and in parallel to the links, there are rigidly fixed lower edges of guides. Each guide has a concave surface, the cross section of which is a semicircle. At the same time the inner cavity of the guides is directed towards an incoming wave, and the ribbed surface created by guides has openings between adjacent ribs.

EFFECT: invention provides for highly efficient suppression of wave energy and reduced wave load at protected shores.
