ABSTRACT:
A wave dissipating wall is formed of a plurality of wave chambers comprising a plurality of horizontal plates and vertical partition walls opening toward the direction from which waves come in. The ends of the walls dividing the chambers are wider than the remaining parts of the walls and the front walls comprise semi-circular curved surfaces extending toward the direction from which the waves come in order to introduce the waves into the chamber having a wider width than the entrance formed between the respective front walls and to let the waves circulate within the chamber by the energy of the waves, thereby increasing the friction resistance between the waves and the walls as much as possible and achieving an efficient diminishing of the wave energy.
