Golfhoogteverlaging in het Ekofisk veld: Een alternatief voor de platform jack-up. Deel II

Deel II bevat het derde deelverslag uit maart 1988 waarin de dynamische golfbreker constructief wordt uitgewerkt. En waarin ook een kostenschatting van de dynamische golfbreker in het Ekofisk veld is gemaakt. De dynamische golfbreker is een golfdempingssysteem bestaande uit een groot aantal boeien die onder het zeeoppervlak verankerd worden, en...

Golfdempende constructies

Onderzoek naar een veelheid van golfdempende constructies, toe te passen in de nieuwe meren in Zeeland (Grevelingenmeer, Zoommeer, Veerse meer), zoals drijvende golfbrekers, paalrijen en pallisades, autobanden.

Floating breakwaters: Literature review

The purpose of this report is to find out which floating breakwaters can be utilized in open sea conditions and what can be expected of them. Since every breakwater interferes with the energy of the waves, it is logical that a probable power generation function of floating breakwaters is also investigated. This report is a global review of the...

Floating breakwaters: State of the art, literature review

A multitude of conceptual models of floating breakwaters have been proposed without extensive or complete evaluation of most of these concepts. The technical literature regarding floating breakwater applicability and design procedures is fragmentary and sometimes confusing. Clear, concise guidance does not always exist for those responsible for...

Scrap tire shore protection structures

Design manual for shore protection structures using old rubber tyres. With the use of old car tires one may construct floating breakwaters and reef breakwaters

The proposed goodyear modular mat type scrap tire floating breakwater

Scrap tires are proposed as a construction material for building large floating mat type breakwater devices. The Goodyear scrap tire floating breakwater assemblies are formed by securing together modular bundles of tightly interlocked scrap tires with high strength rope/cable, or special corrosion resistant steel rods. This construction...

Hydraulic characteristics of mobile breakwaters composed of tires or spheres

Two new types of mobile breakwaters consisting of tire and sphere assemblies, respectively, were tested. Tests covered a wide range of wave conditions, water depths, and breakwater dimensions. Experimental measurements were made to determine the wave reflection and wave transmission coefficients, the power dissipated by the breakwaters, and the...
