Hydrodynamic performance of tire-based floating breakwater
TL;DR: In this paper, the hydrodynamic characteristics of nine different scrap-tire floating breakwater configurations were studied in a wave flume for a wide range of inp....
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave transmission, reflection, and dissipation of scrap tire floating breakwater in random waves
TL;DR: In this article, Scrap tires can be used as floating breakwaters, since they are available in plenty around the world, and the question is how to construct a floating breakwater from scratch.
Floating breakwater performance comparison
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of the Tethered-Float Breakwater and the Pole-Tire Breakwater (PT-Breakwater) for short-fetch applications and found that the PT-breakwater was an order of magnitude less costly than the TFL Breakwater.
Transmission of Waves Past a Rigid Vertical Thin Barrier
TL;DR: In this paper, a wave power transmission theory based on wave-power transmission is presented, and the use of this theory in engineering design is discussed, based on the assumption that wave power can be transferred from above water surface to some distance below surface.

Wave Transmission and Mooring-Force Characteristics of Pipe-Tire Floating Breakwaters
TL;DR: A series of prototype scale tests of a floating breakwater that incorporates massive cylindrical members (steel or concrete pipes, telephone poles, etc.) in a matrix of scrap truck or automobile tires, referred to as the Pipe-Tire Breakwater (PT-Breakwater) was conducted in the large wave tank at the US Army Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model for predicting the dynamic behavior of a floating breakwater is presented along with a report on a field experiment designed to provide basic data for verifying the model.
