Costal Structure Design with Wave Condition Prediction

Abstract:

This paper introduces a coastal structure design to protect a reclamation site, which will be fixed at a level of +8 m above the chart datum. A jetty will be also used for loading and unloading of materials from the plant that will be developed on the nearby reclamation site. From the given site contours and water depth data, the bottom slope of the sandy foreshore can be determined. In order to design the coastal structure, the wave climate must be considered and analyzed in priority. For the vertical breakwater to be located on the other side of the berth jetty, the required base and height was determined. In addition, the seawalls for the reclamation platform were analyzed at different water depths.
