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.

Book excerpt: A two-dimensional model study of a proposed reef breakwater for protection of the existing, damage-prone, rubble-mound breakwater at Burns Waterway Harbor was conducted. Sufficient 1:36-scale undistorted flume tests were conducted such that an optimum submerged reef could be selected. Specifically, it was desired to quantify performance (stability transmission response) in terms of structure height and width, location relative to the existing breakwater, and stone size and gradation. Seven improvement plans were considered. All significantly improved stability of the existing breakwater and reduced transmitted wave heights to some extent. Test results for the various improvement plans showed that all structures tested were successful in reducing 7- and 9-sec, 5-ft incident waves to heights of 1 ft or less behind the existing breakwater. Also, as desired, wave heights of about 15 ft or less were observed behind the reef for 11.6-sec, 19-ft incident waves, thus eliminating most damage to the existing breakwater. Five-ton armor stone was completely stable at crest elevations of -10 and -20 ft low-water datum. Increasing the toe-to-toe spacing of the reef from the existing breakwater from 75 to 100 ft slightly improved stability of the existing structure and slightly increased transmission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six series of tests were conducted on 1:35-scale models of the proposed rubble-mound breakwater. Five test series were conducted to develop stable designs for rubble-mound type breakwaters constructed of armor layers consisting of molded tribars (test series 1) or limestone blocks (test series 2-5). The sixth series of tests was concerned with determination of the experimental shape coefficient, voids, and thickness of a cover layer consisting of two layers of random-placed limestone blocks. The principal objectives of test series 1-5 were (a) to develop a stable design that would not be unusually difficult to construct, and at the same time would make optimum use of the different sizes of stone available from the quarry; and (b) to determine the heights of waves on the harborside of the breakwater resulting from the transmission of wave energy through and over the structure. A stable design using an armor layer consisting of two layers of random-placed limestone blocks was developed for the trunk section of the proposed rubble-mound breakwater based on a design-wave height of 13 ft.

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.
