ABSTRACT:
A breakwater construction comprising hollow tank like modules of nearly neutral buoyancy and connected to the sea bed by means of pile like members. The buoyancy distribution of the modules is established such that they tend to tilt against the direction of wave action. This tendency to tilt in turn acts to prestress the pile like members.
