Stability of a Breakwater with Steel Pipe Piles under Tsunami Overflow
Publication: Coastal Structures and Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2015: Tsunamis
ABSTRACT
This paper deals with the stability of the breakwater with pile method by the hydraulic model tests. A kind of breakwaters cross-sections was used in the tests to clarify the failure mechanism of breakwater under tsunami overflow with the method using the combination of the wall (composed of steel pipe piles) and the filling as the reinforcing countermeasure of the caisson. The main experimental result shows that the method improves stability of breakwater under tsunami overflow.
