Load Resistance Factor for Vertical Caisson Breakwater in Korea
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 The load resistance factor according to the target reliability level was proposed using 16 vertical breakwaters constructed along the coast of Korea. Limit state functions for sliding and overturning limit states were defined.

Reflections from Coastal Structures
Coastal Engineering 1988, 1988 Wave reflections at and within a coastal harbour may make a significant contribution to wave disturbance in the harbour. Reflected waves may lead to danger to vessels navigating close to structures, and may reduce the availability of berths within the harbour. Wave reflections may also increase local scour or general reduction in sea bed levels. In the

Coastal Management Software to Support the Decision-Makers to Mitigate Coastal Erosion
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 There are no sequential and integrated approaches that include the steps needed to perform an adequate management and planning of the coastal zones to mitigate coastal erosion problems and climate change effects.

Dynamic Penetration Process of Torpedo Anchors into Sand Foundation
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Torpedo anchors are a new type of anchoring system in deepwater that is much more economical than conventional anchoring methods. The dynamic penetration process is vitally important to the installation of torpedo anchors.

COASTAL PLANNING AND THE EVALUATION OF COASTAL STRUCTURES IN TERMS OF SUSTAINABILITY
Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction, 2016 Coasts are cross-sections of the water and land environments, for thousands of years they formed under the factors of climate, geological, geomorphological, topographic and hydraulic and it has reached a natural balance. But increasingly this natural balance is disrupted due to human impact.

Numerical Investigation of Wave Force on Coastal Bridge Decks Close to a Sloping Seabed
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringLarge waves pose a significant threat to the safety of low-laying coastal bridges. In 2004 and 2005, many coastal bridges were destroyed by the large waves generated by Hurricane Ivan and Katrina.

ICE EFFECTS ON COASTAL STRUCTURES
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1972 Ice effects on coastal structures, and more particularly the maximum forces caused by ice action, depend on a number of factors, such as:- (a) The physical properties of the ice encountered. (b) The thickness of ice formations. (c) The size of these formations, and their motion. (d) The shape and size of the structures concerned.
