Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of detached breakwaters, structures built offshore to protect coastlines and foster beach stability. The author embarks on a comprehensive exploration of these coastal guardians, drawing on extensive research and analysis of existing projects across the United States. Emerging as a blend of natural and engineered solutions, detached breakwaters offer a unique approach to coastal management. This book contrasts their functionalities with traditional structures like groins, highlighting their ability to dissipate wave energy without completely obstructing littoral transport. Readers will discover the delicate dance between waves and sediment, as the book explains how breakwaters create 'shadow zones' where beaches expand, forming protective salients or even connecting to the structures as tombolos. The book delves into the intricate design considerations involved in constructing these breakwaters, including wave dynamics, sediment characteristics, and shoreline responses. It navigates the complexities of predicting beach evolution and emphasizes the crucial role of engineering judgment and experience in crafting successful projects. Readers are invited to explore real-world examples of breakwaters in action, showcasing the successes and challenges encountered in various coastal settings. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the potential of detached breakwaters as adaptable tools for safeguarding our shores and nurturing vibrant beach ecosystems.
