Rehabilitation of vertical thin-walled breakwater / Craig T. Bishop.: En13-5/91-100E-PDF

"Physical hydraulic model tests were conducted to measure wave transmission and force characteristics of a partial vertical thin-walled breakwater. Tests were run for the breakwater in its as-designed condition as well as in its present deteriorated state in which many of the wave-reflecting panels on its windward face have fallen off. Several options involving the use of a Floating Tire Breakwater (FTB) moored in front of the structure were also tested. A conceptual design was made for an FTB to restore an acceptable wave climate in the lee of the structure"--Abstract.
