Abstract

The overall objective of the research project on berm breakwater structures is to arrive at a better design basis, which will bring the design standards of berm breakwaters up to the level of design standards for other civil engineering structures. This objective will be reached by establishing an understanding of the physics of berm breakwaters, studies of problems related to practical engineering applications, and studies of threedimensional effects. The research is a combination of theoretical work, physical model testing and numerical modelling. The paper gives an introduction to the berm breakwater concept followed by a presentation of the main research results obtained within MAST 1. Finally, the research which is carried out as part of the MAST II project on berm breakwater structures is described, including a brief presentation of the first results.
