This book was released on 1978 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prototype scale tests of the mooring load and wave transmission characteristics of a floating tire breakwater were conducted in the large wave tank at the Coastal Engineering Research Center. Standard Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. 18-tire modules connected to form breakwaters, 4 and 6 modules (8.5 and 12.8 meters, 28 and 42 feet) wide in the direction of wave advance, were tested in water depths of 2 and 4 meters (6.56 and 13.12 feet). Monochromatic waves with a 2.64- to 8.25-second period range and heights up to 1.4 meters (4.6 feet) were used in the tests. Test results indicate that wave transmission is mainly a function of the breakwater width to incident wavelength ratio with a slight dependence on the incident wave height. However, the mooring forces are mainly a function of the incident wave height with only a slight dependence on the incident wavelength and breakwater width. Recommended design curves for the wave transmission coefficient versus breakwater width to wavelength ratio and mooring load as a function of incident wave height are presented. (Author).

Book excerpt: Onsite data on the performance and durability of six floating breakwaters were gathered. Although none of the breakwaters was subjected to significant storms during the 2 years of monitoring, a number of potentially useful observations were made: These include: 1) Any large concrete float attached to shore will be used for moorage by large vessels if a demand for dock space exists. Provisions for mooring of large vessels should be an integral part of the breakwater design if there is even a remote chance that the breakwater will be used in this manner; 2) Concrete floats should be designed with rounded corners to lessen the possibility of damage from impacts; 3) Design and positioning of electrical service outlets should consider the possibility of damage by docking or departing boats, and electrical junction boxes located on the float should be equipped with drains. All hardware which supports electrical equipment should be specifically designed for marine use; and 4) Without a corrosion protection system, the service life of 1-in.-diam anchor chain is between 5 and 10 years in a temperate marine environment. After 2 years, the aluminum anodes that protect the galvanized steel anchor lines at Friday Harbor appear to be working very well. This type of anchor system may provide a service life that is significantly longer than that of an unprotected chain anchor line.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wave transmission and mooring-load features were tested for a floating breakwater created from massive cylindrical members (steel or concrete pipes, telephone poles, etc.) in a matrix of scrap truck or automobile tires. The Pipe-Tire Breakwater (PT-Breakwater) was tested at prototype scale using regular waves ranging in height from 0.15 to 1.78 meters and period from 2.6 to 8.1 seconds; water depths ranged from 2.0 to 4.6 meters. Two designs were tested--the PT-1 module, composed of steel-pipe buoyancy chambers and truck tires, and the PT-2 module, composed of telephone poles and car tires. Each design was 12.2 meters wide in the direction of wave propagation and was held together by conveyor-belt loops. Wave attenuation and mooring-force features were established based on data from 402 separate runs in which incident and transmitted wave heights were recorded, along with the tension in the seaward mooring line. Test results are compared with those of earlier experiments made on the Goodyear floating tire breakwater. The construction of these PT-Breakwater modules is outlined, along with the cost estimates for construction of components. A breakwater buoyancy test was made and the flotation requirements calculated. The influence of stiffness on the mooring system was experimentally investigated and conveyor-belt material tested to the point of failure. Design curves for determining the proper anchor requirements and breakwater size and given.
