Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of reef breakwaters, a unique type of low-crested rubble-mound breakwater that provides an eco-friendly alternative to traditional breakwaters. The author presents the findings of a comprehensive study conducted on these structures, encompassing their stability, wave transmission and reflection characteristics, and wave energy dissipation. Through meticulous laboratory experiments, the book establishes mathematical models to predict the performance of reef breakwaters under varying wave conditions. The stability model, wave transmission model, and dissipation model provide valuable tools for engineers and coastal managers to design and evaluate reef breakwaters effectively. The book's insights contribute significantly to the understanding of these structures, offering a practical guide for their implementation as coastal protection and shoreline stabilization measures.
