Investigating the Energy Dissipation Capability of Solid Piles Breakwater
Keywords:
Energy Dissipation, Solid Piles Breakwater.Abstract
In terms of the importance of coastal zones, this research started with the motivation of proposing an innovative coastal protection measure (solid piles, evenly distributed and staggered, breakwaters) and investigating their capability of energy dissipation, experimentally. Physical models of solid piles breakwater were designed and constructed. Experimental flume was arranged to test these models and measuring devices were arranged. Contributing parameters (i.e. wave height, period, steepness, piles arrangements and diameters) were varied, Based on the discussions and within the experimented range of parameters, it was clear that solid piles possess an enormous capability of dissipating the wave energy by a percentage that ranged between 20 to 75% which is considered to be significant amount from the coastal engineering point of view.
