This last value (2.75) is close to the value (2.5) mentioned by Pilarczyk [22].
Further, the tests have revealed that the stability of the uppermost elements is less
than that of the lower-lying elements. In case the uppermost element is placed between
one significant wave height (
H
s
) above and below the still water line the following
relationship applies (see also Figure 3.4):
