Berm breakwater structures: Final report: Research summary

A research project on berm breakwater structures was carried out with the overall objective of arriving at a better design basis. Eight European organisations from Denmark, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Norway, Italy and Iceland participated in the joint research project co-sponsored by the European Commission under the second research and...

Reshaping breakwater: Description of the profile evolution / Irregular wave induced forces on armor unit on berm breakwater

In order to develop a model able to describe how berm breakwaters reshape under the attack of waves, a large quantity of data from 2D and 3D tests was collected and arranged in a database. The data were first standardised, and since data come from models with very different size, all the lengths were scaled with the nominal diameter (Dn50) of...
