Floating Tire Breakwater Design Comparison

Journal of the Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Division, 1982
The design curves from two independent studies of the wave transmission and mooring force characteristics of Goodyear-type floating tire breakwaters are compared. The CERC wave transmission results from prototype scale tests and the mooring force results of Harms from model scale tests are recommended for use in design.

Energy Losses and Floating Breakwater Response

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1988
Very often the linear models of floating caisson breakwaters simulate the complete hydrodynamic phenomenon by dividing it into elementary problems, such as wave diffraction around a fixed surface body, motion of the moored structure caused by the wave, and change of the wave field due to waves generated by the breakwater.

Operational Experience with Floating Breakwaters

Marine Technology and SNAME News, 1977
In the past few years floating breakwaters used for the protection of marina facilities have found increasing application. They provide a cost-effective solution at many potential sites and alleviate the environmental damage associated with more traditional breakwater construction.

Design Criteria for Floating Tire Breakwaters

Journal of the Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Division, 1979
Wave-transmission and peak-mooring force design curves were generated for the Goodyear and Wave-Guard floating tire breakwaters from measurements on ⅛-scale and ¼-scale models using regular and irregular waves, and found to be in good agreement with available full-scale data. These curves may be used to determine the breakwater size needed to attenuate

Marina protection by floating breakwaters

1995
In this paper floating breakwaters as environmentally acceptable structures for the protection of marinas and small harbours from waves are presented. Actions by which wave height is reduced are described, and some types of floating breakwaters are presented.

Dynamic response of moored floating breakwaters

1979
The problem of finding the response of a moored floating breakwater is examined with particular reference to the effect of the moorings on breakwater motions. A computer program has been developed in which hydrodynamic coefficients are calculated using the finite element method. The complete breakwater-mooring system is modelled using the techniques of

Performance of twin-pontoon floating breakwaters

2009
A numerical and experimental assessment of the hydrodynamic performance of a moored twin-pontoon floating breakwater made up of either rectangular or circular section pontoons is presented. The performance is described in terms of transmission and reflection coefficients, breakwater motions, and mooring line tensions.
