Book Rubble mound Breakwater Stability and Wave attenuation Tests  Port Ontario Harbor  New York

Download or read book Rubble mound Breakwater Stability and Wave attenuation Tests Port Ontario Harbor New York written by Robert D. Carver and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An undistorted-scale hydraulic model study was conducted to investigate the armor stability and wave-transmission design of three breakwater cross sections for Port Ontario Harbor, New York. Plan 1 was constructed to a crown elevation of +10 ft lwd and used armor slopes of IV on 2H and 1V on 1.5H lake-side and harbor side, respectively. A crown width of 16 ft, equivalent to three armor-stone diameters, was used and the slopes and crown were armored with two thicknesses of 7.8-ton stone. Plan 1A was the same as Plan 1 except that the crown elevation was lowered to +9 ft lwd. Plan 2 was similar to Plan 1 except that the armor weight was reduced to 5.3 tons and the crown width was narrowed to 14 ft. Based on results of model tests, it was concluded that Plans 1 and 2 meet the designated wave-transmission criteria of significant transmitted wave height greater than or equal to 3.0 ft and are stable designs for the maximum breaking wave heights that can be produced in the model for 7- to 11-sec waves at swl's of +1.0 and +4.6 ft lwd. Plan 1 exhibited the best stability response of all three plans investigated. Maximum significant transmitted wave heights were 2.5, 3.0 and 2.4 ft for Plans 1, 1A, and 2, respectively. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 1:20-scale experimental model investigation was conducted to investigate the wave transmission response of a breakwater proposed for Olcott Harbor, New York. A check of the structure's stability showed the proposed section to be conservatively stable. Therefore, an alternate plan also was investigated in an attempt to reduce construction costs for the breakwater. Based on model tests results, it was concluded that: (a) Both plans tested are stable designs for the maximum wave heights that can be expected to occur (6- to 10-sec waves at still-water levels of +4.3 and +5.1 ft low-water datum). (b) Maximum transmitted wave heights were 0.9 and 1.5 ft for Plans 1 and 1A, respectively.

Book Rubble Mound Breakwater Wave Attenuation and Stability Test  Burns Waterway Harbor  Indiana

Download or read book Rubble Mound Breakwater Wave Attenuation and Stability Test Burns Waterway Harbor Indiana written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A two-dimensional model study of the damaged Burns Waterway Harbor break-water was conducted. The 1:36-scale undistorted flume tests were used to evaluate various repair options that included placing a submerged breakwater lakeward of the existing breakwater, attaching a berm breakwater to the lakeside of the structure, the addition of an 18-ton angular stone overlay, and reworking the existing stone into special placement at the crest. Generally, the submerged breakwater and restacking of the existing armor were the least effective approaches to reducing wave transmission; whereas the toe berms and large-stone overlays were the most effective. However, the submerged reefs proved to be the most effective in reducing or eliminating damage to the existing breakwater.
