The advantages, limitations and applications of these breakwaters are discussed. Based on their configurations, free surface breakwaters have been classified into four types, namely solid-type, plate-type, caisson-type and multipart-type. Typical designs of the respective breakwater types are presented and the hydraulic characteristics are reviewed. In addition, comparisons of hydraulic efficiency of some of the free surface breakwaters are also addressed in this paper. date: 2013 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84883045007&partnerID=40&md5=9e95f3ba14ab90e695821d9d05b17257 full_text_status: none publication: Sains Malaysiana volume: 42 number: 9 pagerange: 1301-1310 refereed: TRUE issn: 01266039 citation: Teh, H.M.
