Abstract: The results of an experimental investigation, aimed at analyzing the water flow, stability of the components, and the reflection coefficient of a slope consisting of concrete cubes arranged in an organized manner, similar to a paving stone style, alongside larger blocks to enhance overall roughness, are presented. The experiment took place in the wave flume and basin at the University of Costa Rica, testing wave ranges typical of the Pacific coasts of Central America, characterized by long swell periods.
