Reef Breakwater Design for Lake Michigan Marina
An innovative breakwater concept consisting of a conventional breakwater and a submerged-reef breakwater operating in tandem has been designed for the southern end of Lake Michigan. The...
Environmental Wave Barriers for Small Craft Harbors
This paper describes the history and development of the environmental wave barrier and the current planning and design being undertaken for a major expansion of the small boat harbor at...
Assessment of Cyclical Wave Damage for Small Basin Harbors
Since the construction of Oceanside Harbor in Southern California in 1963, continuous wave penetration into the inner harbor has caused significant damage to dock systems, revetments,...
Design Experience Gained Through Physical Modeling of Small-Craft Harbors
A research work unit has been initiated to determine the state-of-knowledge of small boat harbor design. Existing design criteria for small-craft harbor design is based primarily on 'rule-of-thumb'...
Physical Model Testing of Barbers Point Harbor and Marina Complex
A three-dimensional, physical model study of the Barbers Point, Hawaii harbor and marina complex is being conducted at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Coastal Engineering...
Marina Flushing Along a Structurally Controlled Canal
Evaluation of flushing characteristics of a proposed marina located along a structurally controlled navigable canal is reported. This canal is operated to maintain the water level of Lake...
Application of a Numerical Model to Develop Marina Concepts

On the Reliability of Offshore Platforms Against Random Sea Waves and Earthquake Motions
Dynamic response of offshore structures to random sea waves and strong earthquake motions is investigated. The wave-structure interaction is represented using the generalized Morison equation...
Response Surface Fitting in Offshore Structural Design
Failure probability estimation of complex offshore structures requires the modeling of the system behavior in terms of all uncertain parameters. This paper investigates the applicability...
Nonlinear Dynamic Response of Marine Structures Under Random Wave Loads
A simple nonlinear dynamic structure/ship model is combined with a filtered noise model of random wave loads. It is shown how this model can include (1) non-Gaussian wave elevations and...
