Probabilistic Design Tools for Vertical Breakwaters. This item is unavailable.Probabilistic Design Tools for Vertical Breakwaters

This work describes the key results of the European research project called PROVERBS to develop and implement probability-based methods for the design of monolithic coastal structures and breakwaters subject to sea wave attacks. The issues treated include the hydrodynamic, geotechnical and structural processes involved in the wave-structure-foundation interactions and in the associated failure mechanisms.
