Monitoring Accropodes Breakwaters using RGB-D Cameras
Breakwaters are marine structures useful for the safe harbouring of ships and the protection of harbours from sedimentation and coasts from erosion. Breakwater monitoring is then a critical part of coastal engineering research, since it is crucial to know the state of a breakwater at any time in order to evaluate its health in terms of stability and plan restoration works. In this paper we pres...
متن کاملA Computational Risk Assessment Model for Breakwaters
In the reliability-risk assessment, the second order reliability index method and the Conditional Expectation Monte Carlo (CEMC) simulation were interrelated as a new Level III approach in order to analyse the safety level of the vertical wall breakwaters. The failure probabilities of sliding and overturning failure modes of the Minikin method for breaking wave forces were forecasted by approxi...
متن کاملWave Reflection at Submerged Breakwaters
Several types of structures are used in Coastal Engineering with the aim of preventing shoreline erosion, such as groynes, detached breakwaters, submerged breakwaters, etc. Submerged breakwaters have the advantage of their minimal visual impact, which has made them ever more popular (Chang & Liou, 2007). When the incoming waves impinge on a submerged breakwater, a process of energy transformati...
متن کاملHard Coral Assemblages on Seawalls in Singapore
— Singapore’s shores have been extensively modifi ed to meet the rising demands of economic and recreational activities, and seawalls are a resultant ubiquitous feature of the island state’s coastline. In spite of the harsh environmental conditions, seawalls in Singapore are known to harbour rich intertidal communities. This study surveyed the hard coral assemblages at zones immediately above a...
متن کاملHard coastal-defence structures as habitats for native and exotic rocky-bottom species.
The use of hard coastal-defence structures, like breakwaters and seawalls, is rapidly increasing to prevent coastal erosion. We compared low-shore assemblages between wave-protected and wave-exposed habitats on breakwaters along a sandy shore of Tuscany (North-Western Mediterranean). Assemblages were generally characterized by a low diversity of taxa, with space monopolized by Mytilus galloprov...
