Stability of Blocks as Breakwater Armor Units
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concrete blocks are very often used as breakwater armor units. In order to improve the knowledge of their behavior, some laboratory tests have been performed for three types of blocks. After stating three damage levels, ...
Effects of Reflective Vertical Structures Permeability on Random Wave Kinematics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two simple numerical models are presented to estimate the root-mean-squared velocity for random nonbreaking waves obliquely incident on partially reflecting coastal structures. The structures considered are vertical permeable ...
