Objective of this contribution is to assess forces and performance of a typical floating breakwater (FB) with particular attention at evaluating the 3D effects on the experimental results. Tests have been carried out at the University of Padova both in the wave flume and in the wave basin on the same FB under irregular wave attacks. 2D and 3D measurements of incident and transmitted waves, mooring and link forces as well as FB motions will be presented and compared where possible. Considerations on measuring techniques will be also drawn.

Abstract
Objective of this contribution is to assess forces and performance of a typical floating breakwater (FB) with particular attention at evaluating the 3D effects on the experimental results. Tests have been carried out at the University of Padova both in the wave flume and in the wave basin on the same FB under irregular wave attacks. 2D and 3D measurements of incident and transmitted waves, mooring and link forces as well as FB motions will be presented and compared where possible. Considerations on measuring techniques will be also drawn.
