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.

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 ...

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,

Addressing the Energy Trilemma: The Role of Entrepreneurship, Regulation, and Climate Finance
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Balancing energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability has become increasingly challenging as economies pursue low‐carbon growth amid climate risk and persistent disparities in access to modern energy. Although entrepreneurship is widely recognized as a driver of innovation, its role in addressing the energy trilemma ...
