flume and wave tank results to optimise the final cage design. However, the
evaluation of the potential impact of the additional loads due to the attached cage
structures on the dimensioning of the support structure was not focused on. The
basic data of the test site at “Veja Mate” are shown in the following table
(Table 11.2).
