Seawalls are built for Protecting of beaches against waves and preventing the progression of water to the beach. For a proper understanding about these constructions, a suiTable information about applied loads on these constructions should be existed. One of the important load that applied on these constructions is sea wave. Others loads are included: weight force of the walls, weight force of ...

A small-scale field experiment was conducted on a U-OWC incorporated into caisson breakwater at the NOEL laboratory of Reggio Calabria (Italy). The U-Oscillating Water Column (U-OWC) or REWEC (REsonant Wave Energy Converter) is device belonging to family OWCs. Such very innovative, being able absorb high percentage incoming sea waves energy and produce electrical power via proper PTO. focus pap...

Guided wave structural health monitoring is a challenging problem, in part because of the complexity of signals received in a real structure containing geometrical features and boundaries. Signals scattered from damage can be one or two orders of magnitude smaller in amplitude than the direct arrival. Detection of these small, scattered signals is often accomplished by comparing signals of inte...

conclusions this study indicates that low-load rt results in greater accumulations in vl compared to high-load rt over the course of 8 weeks of training. results after adjusting for the pre-test scores, there was a significant difference between the two intervention groups on post-intervention total vl with a very large effect size (f (1, 15) = 16.598, p = .001, ηp2 = .525). there was a signifi...
