ABSTRACT:
An energy-dissipating overflow-type dike dividing a body of water into inner and outer zones, comprises an overflow-type dike defining on its upper surface a platform having an average elevation approximating the mean surface of the body of water. A plurality of upstanding wave energy-dissipating elements, each of varying horizontal cross-sectional width, are disposed in spaced relationship on the platform to reduce the potential impact effect of a water overflow on the inner zone by extending the area and period of impact. A plurality of channels, each of varying horizontal cross-sectional width, are defined by and between the elements for dissipating the kinetic energy of water passing therethrough while enabling water flow for basin water renewal in the inner zone.
