Application of Expected Sliding Distance Method for Composite Breakwaters Design
Publication: Coastal Engineering 2000
Abstract
Estimating the probability distribution of deformation is essential in the future design of composite breakwaters. In this paper, characteristics of the sliding phenomena and a method to calculate the sliding distance are described, and the deformation-based reliability design, named the expected sliding distance method, is proposed. This new design gives a more economical cross section of the breakwater than that by the current design especially in a shallow water area.
