Eco-Engineering of Seawalls—An Opportunity for Enhanced Climate Resilience From Increased Topographic Complexity

چکیده
In the context of “green” approaches to coastal engineering, term “eco-engineering” has emerged in recent years describe incorporation ecological concepts (including artificially water-filled depressions and surface textured tiles on seawalls drilled holes sea structures) into conventional design process for marine infrastructures. Limited studies have evaluated potential increase wave energy dissipation resulting from increased hydraulic roughness ecologically modified defences which could reduce overtopping consequent flood risks, while increasing biodiversity. This paper presents results small-scale laboratory investigations roughened seawalls. Impulsive non-impulsive conditions with two deep-water steepness values (=0.015 0.06) are simulate both swell storm a two-dimensional flume an impermeable 1:20 foreshore slope. Measurements plain vertical seawall taken as reference case. The was subsequently include 10 further test configurations where effects, reflective interventions, were simulated by progressively protrusions across three length scales densities. at compared favorably empirical predictions EurOtop II Design Manual served validation experimental approach. Results physical model experiments showed that and/or density reduced Benchmarking mean rate up 100% (test case protrusion maximum) under impulsive conditions. this study highlight eco-engineering interventions mitigate extreme hazards dissipating additional through structure.

Engineering Resilience versus Ecological Resilience
Ecological science has been shaped largely by the biological sciences. Environmental science, on the other hand, has been shaped largely by the physical sciences and engineering. With the beginning of interdisciplinary efforts between the two fields, some of the fundamental differences between them are generating conflicts caused more by misunderstanding of basic concepts than by any difference...
متن کاملIs Energy Storage an Economic Opportunity for the Eco-Neighborhood?
In this article, we consider houses belonging to an eco-neighborhood in which inhabitants have the capacity to optimize dynamically the energy demand and the energy storage level so as to maximize their utility. The inhabitants’ preferences are characterized by their sensitivity toward comfort versus price, the optimal expected temperature in the house, thermal loss and heating efficiency of th...

Knowledge Modeling for Eco-design Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications Knowledge Modeling for Eco-design
The present major concern on sustainable development is at the beginning of a growing interest on product recyclability. More and more strict norms and regulations will be prescribed to companies in order to increase the level of recyclability of industrial products. Usually described in natural language, these norms can be difficult to interpret for the product designer. There will also be an ...
