SUBMERGED CONCRETE CAISSON BREAKWATER CONSTRUCTION

Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction, 2016
After numerical and physical modeling, and alternate analysis, the proposed solution to mitigate wave energies entering Kahului Harbor, Maui was to construct a submerged concrete caisson breakwater, just outside the harbor that would economically improve the harbor tranquility and be environmentally friendly. One of the major challenges of this project

Transformation of statistical and spectral wave periods crossing a smooth low-crested structure

Oceanologia, 2012
We carried out experimental studies of a smooth submerged breakwater in a wave channel in order to study such a structure impacts on thechanges of statistically and spectrally defined representative wave periods as waves cross it.

Influence of Intermittent Submerged Breakwater on the Hydrodynamic Impacts of Infragravity Waves on Fringing Reef

Redai dili
Coral reef systems are vital natural barriers that dissipate wave energy and protect coastlines. However, anthropogenic damage has severely compromised this protective function, necessitating restoration efforts such as submerged breakwaters.

Optimization Analysis of the Shape and Position of a Submerged Breakwater for Improving Floating Body Stability

한국해양공학회지
Submerged breakwaters can be installed underneath floating structures to reduce the external wave loads acting on the structure. The objective of this study was to establish an optimization analysis framework to determine the corresponding shape and ...

A Study on the Effects of Morphological Changes Due to the Construction of Multiple Coastal Structures

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The study area was Anin Beach, where a 1.48-km-long breakwater, consisting of a non-porous caisson, was constructed over 16 months. During this process, significant erosion occurred over a wide area behind the coast, with a maximum reduction in the beach

Experimental and Numerical Study on the Hydrodynamic Efficiency of Permeable Caissons Barriers

Journal of Eta Maritime Science
Breakwaters are constructed to protect beaches and ports from high storms and waves. By bringing calm to the port, breakwaters also increase ship safety and operation. This paper presents a study of the breakwater partially submerged in water, consisting
