Abstract
A 1,400 ft floating concrete breakwater has been developed to expand and upgrade the Port of Bremerton's marina in downtown Bremerton on Puget Sound in Washington State. The location of the marina presents a unique set of challenges for harbor protection. Extensive data collection and numerical and physical modeling were conducted to determine the optimum geometric shape of the structure. Unique concepts were developed to analyze the hydrodynamic behavior of the structure, and several analyses were conducted to arrive at a final mooring and structural design. The result is a multi-functional state-of-the-art structure that serves as a prominent example of durable, cost-effective harbor protection.
