A new approach to reliability analysis of rubble mound breakwater using neural network is proposed. At first, a neural network model which can estimate the stability number of any breakwaters for some design conditions is trained. Then, the neural network model is integrated with Monte Carlo simulation technique in order to calculate probability of failure for the breakwater. The proposed technique is compared with conventional approach using empirical formula.

There are many studies about submerged structures or porous wave absorbers to decrease damage of coast and structures. Submerged structures and porous wave absorber are decreasing energy of incoming wave by reflecting or dissipation with changing depth or with porous rubble mound. This study addresses the reflection and transmission of long wave from a trapezoidal breakwater and a vertical porous wave absorber at the same time. A systematic shape transfer is derived to determine wave reflection and transmission. And periodic solutions are matched at the slope and the front face of the absorber by assuming continuity of pressure and mass. The transmission coefficient is determined as a function of parameters describing the incoming waves, transmitting waves through the trapezoidal breakwater and the absorber characteristics.

As the 2-D hydraulic experimental results for the submerged rubble-mound structure, we have concerned with their stability/function characteristics of structures by the effects of wave force, scour/deposition at the toe and wave transmission ratio at the lee-side sea. And as to investigate the variation characteristics of wave transmission ratio which depended to a geometrical structure of the submerged breakwater profiles, the critical conditions for the depth of submergence and crest width obviously presented. In summary, there results lead us to the conclusions that the wave control capabilities of submerged breakwaters by the variation of the submergence depth is high about 4 time degrees at the efficiency than the that of crest width. The destruction of covering block at the crest generated at the region which located between maximum damage curve, it maximum damage/failure station from the toe of the structure were 0.2L. As the wave transmission coefficient and the slope of the structure increase, the damage/failure ratio and the maximum scour depth at the toe was extended, respectively. When maximum scour depth happened. The destruction of covering block which located at the toe generated at the front slope destruction. Finally, it was found from the results that the optimization of structure may be obtained by the efficiently decision of the submergence depth and crest width in the permissible range of wave transmission ratio.

The stability of a typical rubble mound breakwater defenced by a submerged structure is investigated using hydraulic experiments. Incident irregular waves are obtained from the Bretschneider-Mistuyasu spectrum. Experiments are carried out for different spacings between two breakwaters (X/d=2-3) and for different relative widths (B/h=0.7-3.0) of the submerged structure. It is observed that a submerged structure of (B/h) of 0.7-3.0 constructed at a seaward distance (X/d) of 2-3 breaks all the incident waves and dissipates energy and breakwater.

Recently, a perforated caisson breakwater with turning wave blocks was developed to improve the water affinity and public safety of a rubble mound armored by TTP. In this study, hydraulic model tests were performed to examine the hydraulic performance of a non-porous caisson and new caisson breakwater with perforated blocks for attacking waves in a small fishery harbor near Busan. The model test results showed that the new caisson was more effective in dissipating the wave energy under normal wave conditions and in reducing the wave overtopping rates under design wave conditions than the non-porous caisson. It was found that the horizontal wave forces acting on the perforated caisson were slightly larger than those on the non-porous caisson because of the impulsive forces on the caisson with the turning wave blocks.

The re-analysis on the stable weight of the concrete armor unit (CAU) at the roundhead and the suggestion of the covering range at the roundhead with the increased weight of CAU were conducted. Tetrapods were applied to the tests and the three dimensional hydraulic tests were performed. The test results for the stable weight at the roundhead area were similar to the guides from Korean Design Standard for Harbour and Fishery Port (MOF, 2014) and Coastal Engineering Manual (USACE, 2005). The investigation of covering range at the roundhead of rubble mound structures armoured with Tetrapods was suggested that the length of five times of the design wave height from the tip of the superstructure was needed and appropriate. Both sides of the superstructure should be covered with increasing weighted CAU to satisfy the stability at roundhead area.

Laboratory tests of wave overtopping rates for a rubble mound breakwaters armoured Tetrapod were carried out, with varying design waves, crest berm widths and crest freeboards. The objective of this study is to investigate overtopping performance and to examine the characteristics of the widely used overtopping prediction models through the results of laboratory tests. Laboratory tests show that structure slope and wave periods have a considerable influence on overtopping rates, but the difference of overtopping rates related to crest berm widths is slight. Owen(1980)'s prediction considerably overestimates compared to the measured valued. Prediction of Van der Meer et al.(1998) underestimates only for steep slope($cot{\alpha}$=1.5). Besley(1999)'s and Pedersen(1996)'s predictions have a relatively good agreement with the measured results for slopes with a broader crest berm width. In general, best agreement between measured and predicted overtopping rates is observed using modified Pedersen(1996)'s formula for all test conditions.

지금까지 실무에서는 경사식 방파제 적정 단면 결정시 피복재 산정 및 설계파에 대한 파력을 산정하여 상치콘크리트 구조물의 안정성을 검토하는 것이 전부였다 하지만 현장에서 발생하는 상황은 더 많은 변수들이 작용하는 것을 보여 주고 있다. 예를 들면 파에 의하여 발생하는 투과파 및 월파로 제체의 내부 및 배면 석재의 이탈이 발생하는 경우는 익히 보아 왔던 일이지만, 반대로 월파가 발생하지 않았는데도 불구하고 제체의 침하와 배면의 석재에 이탈 즉 세굴이 발생하는 경우도 있다. (중략)

해수교환방파제란 방파제에 설치된 통수구를 통해 해수가 항내로 일방향으로 유입되거나 통수구에서 양방향 흐름이 발생함으로써 종국에는 항내ㆍ외간의 해수교환이 활발하게 이루어지게 하는 방파제를 말한다. 그리고 방파제를 통한 순유입유량이 클수록 해수교환의 영향은 항내의 넓은 수역까지 미친다. (중략)

재래식 방파제는 투수성이 작아 항내ㆍ외간 해수유통을 저하시켜 조석간만의 차가 작은 해역의 항만에서는 오염원이 유입될 때 수질이 쉽게 악화된다. 특히 방파제 후면 수역을 매립하여 선착장으로 이용하는 경우에 이 현상은 심화된다 이를 해결하려면 육상으로부터의 오염원 유입을 저감시킴과 함께 정체된 항에 흐름이 존재하도록 하는 건설 공법을 도입할 필요가 있다. (중략)
