Physical Mechanism for Seabed Scouring around a Breakwater—A Case Study in Mailiao Port
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 According to a field survey in 2012, the bathymetry near Mailiao Port, located in central Taiwan’s west coast, has a scouring hole that extends approximately 500 m × 100 m with a maximum scour depth of 26 m (eroded from its design depth −22 m to −48 m ...

Evaluating structural resistance and updating modeling uncertainties through testing
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The aging of infrastructure necessitates a robust and rational methodology for the assessment of existing structures. Design codes provide general models which cover different design scenarios and are thus overly conservative. Also, such design approaches lack field data and, if applied directly to existing works, often lead to unnecessarily ...

REPRODUCING OPERATIONAL LANDSCAPES: The Rock Mining for Indonesia's New Capital City
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Indonesia's new capital city is designed to become a green and sustainable city. In this article, we examine the (un)sustainability of the process through which the city is coming into being. Using the sociospatial theory of planetary urbanization, we trace the dialectical relationship between the new city and sites beyond it to show how ...

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Why do some informal neighborhoods receive public investment while others are neglected or evicted? This article addresses the inconsistent governmental responses to informal settlements in Jakarta, Indonesia, during the democratic period. State actions range from violent evictions to tolerance and community‐led improvements.

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1964 A breakwater design is optimum when it results in a structure that meets the requirements at minimum total cost. The total cost consist of cost of construction, anticipated damage and economic loss due to failure of the structure. For any type of structure the design wave or load is governed by the condition of minimum total cost.

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts
Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.
