BREAKWATER STABILITY - BREAKING WAVE DATA

Artificial Intelligence and Rubble-Mound Breakwater Stability

Breakwaters are coastal structures constructed to shelter a harbour basin from waves. There are two main types: rubble-mound breakwaters, consisting of various layers of stones or concrete pieces of different sizes (weights), making up a porous mound; and vertical breakwaters, impermeable and monolythic, habitually composed of concrete caissons. This article deals with rubble-mound breakwaters....

Numerical Simulation of Wave Overtopping Over Composite Berm Breakwater

Breakwaters have changed a lot during their design history. Overtopping is an important parameter that its evaluation and reduction has always been noticed. In this study, the wave overtopping of composite berm breakwater as a new conceptual structure has been investigated numerical modeling was performed using FLOW-3D software. Then, based on  a laboratory model conducted by Losada et al, cali...

Breaking the Wave of Enthusiasm?

The natural history of all substantial innovative medical procedures generally follows the same archetype. A new, potentially revolutionary treatment approach for a certain disease is introduced and initial first-in-men, feasibility, and safety studies are conducted by expert operators in highly specialized centers and selected patients. Given promising initial results, this triggers a wave of ...
