Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Research Program. Case Histories of Corps Breakwater and Jetty Structures. Report 6. North Pacific Division
This report is sixth in a series of case histories of US Army Corps of Engineers breakwater and jetty structures at nine Corps divisions. Chronological histories are presented for 14 breakwater and jetty projects located within the US Army Engineer Division, North Pacific (NPD), which includes the Portland, Seattle, and Alaska Districts. The projects currently include 68 breakwaters and 35 jetties. Nearly all of the structures are of rubble-mound construction, although steel pilings, steel sheetpilings, timber pilings, and concrete have also been used. Localized damage from wave attack and scour near the heads of the structures appears to be the major cause of structural deterioration. (FR)
