Sustainability, 2021 Offshore breakwaters can be effective in reducing the energy of incident waves through dissipation, refraction or reflection. Breakwaters are increasingly constructed to stabilize eroded muddy coasts, particularly in developing countries. Accumulation of

Coastal Engineering 1988, 1988 Two and three dimensional laboratory studies have been carried out on the stability of a berm breakwater concept. The study has to some extent been general and to some extent been connected to a project study of the stability of a berm breakwater for the fishing port of Arviksand, Norway.

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1968 The breakwater consists of a floating slab of breadth comparable to the length of the wave to be obstructed. Performance is improved by various arrangements of slots and mass-damping. The breakwater acts primarily by inhibiting the vertical component of orbital motion; there is a secondary action of energy dissipation by wave-breaking and eddy-making ...

Selection of low impact concrete mixtures based on life-cycle assessment mixtures
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2018 Over the past decades, extensive research has been carried out to reduce the environmental impacts associated with the cement and concrete production. Life-cycle assessment (LCA) enables the quantification of the environmental loads and offers a useful ...

Armor Damage of Overtopped Mound Breakwaters in Depth-Limited Breaking Wave Conditions
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Armor damage due to wave attack is the principal failure mode to be considered when designing conventional mound breakwaters. Armor layers of mound breakwaters are typically designed using formulas in the literature for non-overtopped mound breakwaters ...

Oblique Long Wave Scattering by an Array of Bottom-Standing Non-Smooth Breakwaters
Fluids, 2022 Bragg scattering of surface gravity waves by an array of submerged bottom-standing non-smooth breakwaters is studied under the assumption of linearized long wave theory.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Wave attenuation performance is the prime consideration when designing any floating breakwater. For a 2D hydrodynamic analysis of a floating breakwater, the wave attenuation performance is evaluated by the transmission coefficient, which is defined as ...

Wave Breaker Types on a Smooth and Impermeable 1:10 Slope
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 This research identified the types of wave breaker on a non-overtoppable, smooth and impermeable 1:10 slope under regular waves. Experimental tests were carried out in the Atmosphere-Ocean Interaction Flume of the Andalusian Institute for Earth System ...
