Abstract : This annotated bibliography is presented to assist in the development of reliable design procedures for detached breakwaters. The references deal with topics which can be usefully applied to the design problem although many are not limited solely to the subject of detached breakwaters. Papers on wave diffraction, reflection, transmission, and overtopping are also included. (Author)

An annotated bibliography on detached breakwaters and artificial headlands / by John R. Lesnik.

Model studies and analysis of oceanographic and littoral drift data were undertaken to advise Howe India (Private) Ltd. on littoral drift, siltation and shore erosion problems to be encountered during and after the construction of Visakhapatnam Outer Harbor Project. Distorted fixed-bed and movable-bed models with a horizontal scale of 1:300 and a vertical scale of 1:80 were calibrated to reproduce the integrated net effect of an average southwest and northeast monsoon season. Experiments were conducted to assess and predict seasonal changes resulting from the construction of the system of breakwaters under normal and extreme conditions. Recommendations were made concerning breakwater and sand trap location, shore protection, dredging and disposal of dredged material.
