Proceedings of Floating Breakwaters Conference Held at Newport, R.I., 23-25 April, 1974
A collection of the 18 papers presented at the Floating Breakwater Conference held in Newport Rhode Island, April 23-25, 1974 is presented. Titles included are: Floating breakwaters--state of the art; Theoretical analysis of floating breakwater performance; The effect of surge, heave and pitch on the performance of a floating breakwater; Tethered float breakwaters; The performance of an offset breakwater configuration in wind-generated waves; A wave barrier concept; Development of hermaphrodite breakwater units utilizing hydrofoils in specific arrangement; Attenuation of wind-generated deep water waves by pneumatic and hydraulic breakwaters; Prototype performance characteristics of a floating breakwater; The 'Seabreaker' floating breakwater; Goodyear scrap tire floating breakwater concepts; The Harris floating breakwater; Scrap tire floating breakwaters; Materials and construction techniques for floating breakwaters; Practical applications of floating breakwaters for small craft harbors; Workshop I: Future uses of floating breakwaters; Workshop II: floating breakwaters for small boat marinas; and a chronological survey of the literature on transportable and floating breakwaters.
