Popis: International audience; Due to lack of space, the city of Monaco has extended over the sea, by land reclaiming. The bordering waterdepths are now so deep that the city has been considering building housings set on jacket types of struc tures. These constructions would have to be protected from sea waves, by so-called "partial dikes". An example of such partial dikes is the BYBOP caisson that was installed recently at the mouth of Port Hercule. Its shape was optimized through systematic model tests. Quite noticeable are the slanted parts that protrude both on the up-wave and down-wave sides. The appendix on the lee-side was found to have quite a strong effect on the reduction of the transmission coeffcient.
