Synopsis

This book examines the numerous approaches developed to estimate wave transmission through and over rubble mound and caisson structures used in coastal engineering. These structures may take the form of breakwaters or seawalls and their design involves considerations of wave overtopping. The author, an expert in coastal engineering, presents a reef breakwater transmission model as an example of how a model might be applied in assessing potential repair or rehabilitation strategies to reduce wave transmission and overtopping. Exploring three problem areas caused by wave action, the author delves into methods to alleviate or eliminate these problems. The book's significance lies in its compilation of existing methods and the author's exploration of new methods for rehabilitating and constructing coastal structures that can withstand even the heaviest wave action.
