"The purpose of this manual is to act as a guide to designers and builders of two types of floating-tire breakwaters (FTB): the Goodyear FTB and the PT-breakwater (also known as the Harms FTB). This manual is a compilation of worldwide research work and experience with FTB's. It contains information on the determination of design waves for exposed, short-fetch sites, but does not attempt to deal with design waves for more complicated situations. For known design wave conditions and required breakwater performance, this manual servesas a guide. in the design of an FTB, the choice of construction materials, and the assembly and installation of the breakwater. A detailed design example and cost estimates are provided. This manual should be useful for specialists, such as coastal or marine engineers, as well as for technically knowledgeable non-specialists such as marina owners and other engineers"--Abstract.
