EMBEDDING BREAKWATER

Dear colleagues, any suggestion to broadly estimate the embedding which can report a breakwater built on a seabed composed of loose sand, N from 2 to 8 blows, and 8 to 10 m thick.

By "embedding" I mean the effect of shifting sandy soil due the falling speed of rock fragments on the seabed and the same weight of material accumulation.

The breakwater is planned with a maximum height of 25 m, from the seabed, where the water depth is about 20 to 22 m.

I appreciate your comments.
