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...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of floating breakwaters consisting two barges (L-shape), three (U-shape), four (barge frame), and conventional single breakwater. The different spatial layouts have sheltered internal gaps/moonpools when compared to their counterparts. motions these in wave transmission motion reduction protected bodies are evaluated. study is conducted based on a subsy...

Shorelines at the interface of marine, estuarine and terrestrial biomes are among the most degraded and threatened habitats in the coastal zone because of their sensitivity to sea level rise, storms and increased human utilization. Previous efforts to protect shorelines have largely involved constructing bulkheads and seawalls which can detrimentally affect nearshore habitats. Recently, efforts...

A breakwater is a coastal building that aims to break up or withstand wave energy enters the beach so characteristics of incoming waves are by calculations and can reduce abrasion on shoreline. Designing floating very complicated because it depends many aspects. These fundamental aspects depend each other, if one these changes, integrity structure will also change. One magnitude transmission re...

The nature-based breakwater of floating emergent vegetation (BFEV) provides protection for water banks and various engineering structures from wave erosion. Compared with the convenient hard breakwater, BFEV is beneficial to resilient sustainable development rivers, lakes, coasts, marine areas because it free new pollution. As a unrevealed effect efficiency on attenuation are be investigated th...
