wave condition 1 in Table 3. The low-level series allowed settling and nesting
of the newly constructed section which would occur under typical daily wave
conditions prior to being exposed to a design-level storm, and the small motion
of armor units under these conditions would not normally cause breakage of
units. The remainder of the wave conditions listed in Table 3 were generated
upon completion of the low-level waves beginning with 13-sec, 3.7-m waves and
progressing to longer periods of constant height, i.e., 16-sec, 3.7-m and 19-sec,
3.7-m waves. Wave height was increased after all periods of a given height were
completed.
