Probabilistic Design of Caisson Breakwaters and Sea Walls: Present Status and Perspectives
Probabilistic design tools for vertical breakwaters (PROVERBS) was a major European research project within the 4th framework programme of the European Union and was finished in 1999. The overall objective of the project was to develop and implement a reliability based framework and associated probabilistic tools for the design of vertical breakwaters. 23 research organisations from 8 European countries and from disciplines such as fluid and soil mechanics, structural dynamics, applied mathematics, coastal and harbour engineering have contributed to the project. The paper discusses PROVERBS results and shows applications to representative breakwaters as well as their implementation within a risk analysis framework. The advantages and restrictions of probabilistic design will be summarised and conclusions will be drawn towards extending future research to risk analysis approaches.
