Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breakwaters, generally paralleling the shore and with crests above high water, are works of known value for shore protection. Underwater structures, parallel to the beach to cut down wave action and increase stability of existing beaches for recreation are observed. A model study, to determine the effect under varied conditions of underwater sills upon wave heights and power of waves is made. (Author).

This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing coastal management and defense approaches are not well suited to meet the challenges of climate change and related uncertanities. Professionals in this field need a more dynamic, systematic and multidisciplinary approach. Written by an international group of experts, Coastal Risk Management in a Changing Climate provides innovative, multidisciplinary best practices for mitigating the effects of climate change on coastal structures. Based on the Theseus program, the book includes eight study sites across Europe, with specific attention to the most vulnerable coastal environments such as deltas, estuaries and wetlands, where many large cities and industrial areas are located. - Integrated risk assessment tools for considering the effects of climate change and related uncertainties - Presents latest insights on coastal engineering defenses - Provides integrated guidelines for setting up optimal mitigation measures - Provides directly applicable tools for the design of mitigation measures - Highlights socio-economic perspectives in coastal mitigation

Download or read book Two dimensional Tests of Wave Transmission and Reflection Characteristics of Laboratory Breakwaters written by William N. Seelig and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monochromatic and irregular wave transmission and reflection measurements were made for various subaerial and submerged breakwater cross sections. These two-dimensional laboratory tests included smooth impermeable breakwaters, rubble-mound breakwaters, and breakwaters armored with dolos unit. Wave transmission by overtopping was found to be related to breakwater freeboard wave runup, and breakwater crest width; a method of estimating transmission by overtopping coefficients is presented. The Madsen and White (1976) numerical procedure was found to be an important tool for predicting the amount of transmission through permeable breakwaters. Suggested procedures for estimating transmission coefficients have been incorporated into the computer programs OVER and MADSEN (included as appendixes) and these programs may be used to predict wave transmission coefficients for nonbreaking, breaking, monochromatic, and irregular wave conditions.

This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submerged breakwater is an off shore breakwater, with its crest at or below the SWL, used for creation of protected area of water or for protection of coastal structures and beaches from damage of erosion caused by wave action. Reef breakwaters are coast parallel structures built with an objective of reducing the wave action on the beach by forcing wave breaking over the reef. The present work involves the experimental study on submerged breakwater made of concrete cube armour of varying sizes. A stable trapezoidal submerges breakwater having a slope of 1V:1.75H with a crest width (B) of 0.1m and height (h) of 0.25m is constructed, with homogenous pile of concrete cubes. Two such reef models are designed with concrete cubes weighing 45g and 50g as given by various design criteria. The models are tested in water depth of 0.4m with varying wave heights (0.1m to 0.16m) and wave periods (1.5s to 2s). During the investigation the reduction in crest height, wave incident and transmission over submerged breakwater are observed and the stability parameters are analysed and studies.
