Hydraulic Response of Rubble Mound Breakwaters: Scale Effects - Berm Breakwaters

An introduction to the principles and fundamentals of designing rubble mound breakwaters, led to the definition of two important white spots in designing rubble mound breakwaters. These were selected for further investigations in the present thesis. 1. Design of berm breakwaters: A generally lack of data and design formulae was identifed, but...

Comparison construction costs conventional rubblemound breakwaters/bermbreakwater

Given a harbour location and a wave-climate, two different types of rubble-mound breakwaters were designed. Using realistic quarry yield curves and prices for production, transport and constmction, the total costs of the conventional statically stable and dynamically stable bermbreakwater designs were compared to each other. This comparison led...

Verification of BREAKWAT for berm breakwaters and low-crested structures

This report describes the verification of the model on dynamic stability for berm breakwaters. The model runs on a pc and is called BREAKWAT. The data received from various people allover the world contained not only berm breakwaters, but also dynamically stable low-crested structures. The title of the report was therefore changed to ...
