However, the experimental studies are rather limited, performed
in small-scale facilities, and only for regularwave forcing.
Sutko and Haden (1974) presented a series of small-scale experiments.
Fugazza and Natale (1988) studied the phenomenon
numerically and experimentally. They investigated the influence
of the stiffness of the horizontal part of the mooring system.
An experimental study of the phenomenon for a breakwater in a
floating mode was presented by Williams (1988), in which the
efficiency and the response of the structure was studied. Tolba
