Abstract

Around the UK, many coastal harbours have reduced in importance and/or lost the original sources of income against which to defray maintenance or refurbishment. Their breakwaters may however still protect harbour-side properties against wave overtopping, and thus flooding. This paper presents results from an exploratory study to identify how blockwork breakwaters common in many smaller UK coastal harbours may collapse due to storm action, and in this paper, how much wave protection is given by collapsed breakwaters. The companion paper by Pearson & Allsop (2017) describes initial work to estimate the failure of blockwork walls, and presents results of wall collapse tests.

孤立的防波堤——当它们倒塌时，给予什么保护?

在英国各地，许多沿海港口的重要性已经下降，或失去了用于维护或翻新的原始收入来源。然而，他们的防波堤仍然可以保护港口一侧的财产免受波浪漫过，从而防止洪水泛滥。本文提出了一项探索性研究的结果，以确定在许多较小的英国沿海港口常见的防波堤如何因风暴作用而倒塌，以及在本文中，倒塌的防波堤提供了多少波浪保护。Pearson & Allsop(2017)的论文描述了估算砌块墙破坏的初步工作，并提供了墙体倒塌试验的结果。

期刊介绍： Maritime Engineering publishes technical papers relevant to civil engineering in port, estuarine, coastal and offshore environments. Relevant to consulting, client and contracting engineers as well as researchers and academics, the journal focuses on safe and sustainable engineering in the salt-water environment and comprises papers regarding management, planning, design, analysis, construction, operation, maintenance and applied research. The journal publishes papers and articles from industry and academia that conveys advanced research that those developing, designing or constructing schemes can begin to apply, as well as papers on good practices that others can learn from and utilise.
