This note presents laboratory experiments conducted in a wave-current flume, concerning piling-up and filtration at low crested rubble-mound breakwaters of different permeability. The experiments tested 4 barrier geometries, 2 water depths, 5 irregular waves and 2 barrier materials for a total of 80 test cases. The experimental apparatus permits a simple and accurate measurement of the total water inshore flux induced by the wave loads, overtopping and filtration through the barrier crest. Original measurements are presented.
