Comparison of Different Types of Caisson Structure Composite Breakwaters

Fdine Tianjin

Abstract

Caisson structure composite breakwaters are suitable built in offshore area with deep water and large waves. The stable weights and the applicability of the semi-circular, trapezoidal and rectangular caissons of the composite breakwaters are calculated and compared in the paper. It is shown that the semicircular caisson breakwater is a new type of structure which combines the advantages of caisson structure and conventional semi-circular breakwater. This new type breakwater will be used extensively in the future.
