Floating Breakwater Prototype Test Program: Summary of Data Analysis Efforts
The Floating Breakwater Prototype Test Program (FBPTP) was initiated in 1981 in an effort to develop design criteria for floating breakwater applications in lakes, reservoirs, and semi-protected coastal waters. Some of the objectives of the program were to (a) determine the most effective breakwater design for a given wave climate; (b) establish the forces and moments which act on floating structures and their anchoring systems; and (c) determine loads on connecting mechanisms between individual breakwater modules. This paper describes analysis techniques used to reduce prototype data related to the above objectives. (fr)
