STUDI KARAKTERISKTIK GELOMBANG PADA FLOATING BREAKWATER TIPE TERPANCANG DAN TAMBAT
Floating breakwater (PGT) is designed to be applied as a wave barrier to reduce beach abrasion and wave energy so that waves coming to the beach have their energy reduced.

FLOATING TYRE BREAKWATERS - A CASE HISTORY
The problem of achieving a system of coastal protection which is cheap, effective and reliable has stimulated the minds of researchers and innovators for many years. Although floating breakwaters have been written about since the 1840s, interest in them has increased rapidly in recent years.

Evaluating structural resistance and updating modeling uncertainties through testing
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 ...

RIGID BODY MOTION OF A FLOATING BREAKWATER
Predictions of the dynamic response of a floating breakwater obtained from a frequency domain analysis are compared with full-scale field measurements. Those parameters prominently affecting accurate response predictions are identified and discussed.

Performance of a New Floating Breakwater
Abstract The need of floating breakwater is increased to protect harbour by wave storm. The study and development of some model have been done in the past decade. However, their model still not effective to protect harbour against wave period greater than 5.0 second. This study deals with performance of a new type floating breakwaters in

REPRODUCING OPERATIONAL LANDSCAPES: The Rock Mining for Indonesia's New Capital City
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 ...

FLOATING BREAKWATER RESPONSE TO WAVE ACTION
The present paper describes a study carried out to investigate floating breakwater behavior in waves. Components of the study include a field survey of floating breakwaters in British Columbia, Canada, the development of a numerical model of breakwater behavior and the experimental testing of a particular breakwater design. The numerical model has been

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.
