Sandbar breakwaters: Analysis of the effects of variations in wave climate on the morphological development of sandbar breakwaters by using the Lekki Sandbar Breakwater case study

Many coastlines feature a sediment transport in a dominant direction, possibly burying a traditional breakwater in sand in several years. The sandbar breakwater concept uses this sediment supply to its benefit to make the use of vast amounts of rocks abundant. During this research the morphological development of the worlds first sandbar...

Open filters in breakwaters with a sand core: Study into the stability of granular geometrically open, hydraulically sand-open filters in breakwaters with a sand core

Thesis study into an alternative design for breakwaters made of granular materials like sand and quarry stone. In this design, the breakwater is constructed of a sand core and a layer of large stones directly on top of it, without the traditional filter layers in-between. The single layer of stones serves as one open filter layer that has to...
