Stability Formula for Tetrapods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A stability formula has been developed for Tetrapods armoring rubble mound breakwaters based on hydraulic model test results of the present and previous studies. The formula is applicable to breakwaters with various slope ...
Application of Angular Spectrum Model to Simulation of Irregular Wave Propagation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For the past several years, great advances have been made in the modeling of water‐wave propagation problems using the concept of angular spectrum. In a 1989 paper, Vincent and Briggs reported hydraulic model experiments ...
Development of Stability Formulas for Rock Armor and Tetrapods Using Multigene Genetic Programming
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Stability formulas for rock armor and Tetrapods were developed using multigene genetic programming, which is one of the machine learning methods. The developed formulas are shown to be more accurate than previous empirical ...
Wave Transformation and Sand Transport on a Macrotidal Pocket Beach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Available 17-day field data in Korea are analyzed to investigate the cross-shore wave transformation, currents and sand suspension in the intertidal zone, and beach profile changes of a macrotidal pocket beach with a gentle ...
Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Pile-Supported Vertical Wall Breakwaters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the hydrodynamic characteristics of a pile-supported vertical wall breakwater, the upper part of which is a vertical wall, and the lower part consisting of an array of vertical piles. For regular waves, ...
Wave Reflection from Nearshore Depressions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study employs an existing finite-difference model based on the hyperbolic form of the modified mild slope equation (MMSE) to investigate wave reflection near bathymetric depressions such as dredged borrow pits and ...
Effect of Climate Change on Performance-Based Design of Caisson Breakwaters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a method to incorporate the effect of climate change on the performance-based design of a caisson breakwater and its application to the East Breakwater of the Port of Hitachinaka in Honshu, Japan. The ...
Equilibrium‐Range Spectrum of Waves Propagating on Currents
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: By extending the equation proposed in 1981 by Hedges for deep‐water spectrum to a finite‐depth water, an equation is developed for the equilibrium‐range spectrum of waves propagating on a following or opposing current in ...
