    The document discusses various aspects, characteristics, and modifications that can be made when building near a bay or shoreline to account for wave behavior. It recommends building near a bay where waves are calmer due to energy divergence; installing retaining walls to reduce wave impact on the shore; and using a concrete barrier with a gap to allow diffraction of waves and calmer water in protected areas. Other suggestions include building high retaining walls with thick bases to prevent overflow, and factors that influence diffraction.

    1.

    ASPECT/CHARACTERISTIC/MODIFICATION
    Build near bay

    REASON/EXPLANATION
    Waves are calmer due to divergence
    of energy//Convergence of waves at
    the cape//The bay isshallower//The
    speed of waves
    decreases//Theamplitude of waves

    2.

    Build retaining walls

    at the bay is small


    Reduce direct impact of the waves o
    n the shore. Toreflect the waves
    from the shore//Protect the
    areafrom large waves //Avoid

    3.

    erosion
    Concrete barrier structure with a gap inbetween Waves passing through the gap
    will be diffracted in the
    childrens area/the smaller
    amplitude of the diffracted
    waves causes the sea to be calmer
    there energy of waves decreases.

    Build high retaining wall


    Thick area at the base of the wall

    To ensure the water not overflow.
