The Historical Development of the Port of Livorno (Italy) and Its New Port Plan 2010 in Advanced Stage of Elaboration [PDF]
, 2011 The geographical location makes the port of Livorno one of the most important in Italy. The port, in fact, benefits of an extended network of roads and rails connecting it with the rest of Italy, and central and southern Europe as well.

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 ...

Port of Ferrol enlargement works, Spain [PDF]
, 2010 The Port of Ferrol is in the autonomous region of Galicia, in the north-west of the Iberian peninsula, in the ria of the same name. The port has traditionally specialised in bulk goods, mainly coal, scrap and petroleum products. An increase in traffic in

Numerical simulation of fixed/floating structure through-type turbulence flow field
Zhongguo Jianchuan Yanjiu, 2022 ObjectivesIn order to reveal the mechanism of perforated fixed and floating structure through-type flow fields in local high turbulence, breaking waves and fluid separation, three types of typical active/passive perforated structures (gushing floating ...

FLEXIBLE POROUS FLOATING BREAKWATERS
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1968 Observation of the effect of towed rafts of pulpwood on lake and ocean waves led to a systematic investigation at model scale. An empirical equation compatible with wave theory was devised and lines representing this equation together with points representing experimental results are shown for different conditions.

From Julius Caesar to Sustainable Composite Materials: A Passage through Port Caisson Technology [PDF]
, 2018 The breakwater construction technique using floating concrete caissons is well-known nowadays as a widespread system. Yet do we really know its origin? Since Julius Caesar used this technology in Brindisi (Italy) up to the Normandy landings in June 1944,

Floating Breakwater Performance Comparison [PDF]
Coastal Engineering 1980, 1980 Wave-transmission and mooring-force data of the Tethered-Float Breakwater and Pole-Tire Breakwater (PT-Breakwater) were compared, and the basic costs (without mooring system) of two equivalent breakwaters determined. It was found that, for short-fetch applications, the PT-Breakwater was an order of magnitude less costly than the Tethered-Float ...
