[EN] The most common parameters and functions used to characterize wave groups in linear seas are reviewed and interrelated in a unified manner. A three-axes representation of run lengths is used to characterize wave groups ...

The resonance in ports is the phenomenon of energy amplification that takes place in a port or a basin if the incident waves have frequencies close to those of the natural oscillation of the mass of water in the port or ...

[EN] Armor porosity of mound breakwaters and the armor unit placement method have a considerable influence on the hydraulic behavior of the structure. The armor porosity is a parameter of great importance to the structure, ...

[EN] Armor damage due to wave attack is the principal failure mode to be considered when designing conventional mound breakwaters. Armor layers of mound breakwaters are typically designed using formulas in the literature ...

[EN] This study focuses on container vessel fuel consumption considering the wind conditions along the ship path in the liner route. Simple analytical and semi-empirical formulas are provided to estimate the total resistance ...

[EN] Mound breakwaters usually have a concrete crown wall to reduce the amount of quarry material and to improve accessibility. Popular methods to design crown walls consider the same value of the horizontal pressure in ...

[EN] Armor stability formulas for mound breakwaters are commonly based on 2D small-scale physical tests conducted in non-overtopping and non-breaking conditions. However, most of the breakwaters built around the world are ...

[EN] Summary: "Desarrollo de Marina interior en Cullera (Valencia)" Project aims to project a series of actions that define a whole works and installations of the new marina in the Júcar river. There are some previous ...

[EN] This paper describes the technical characteristics of the Cubipod armor unit compared to the conventional cubic block used in mound breakwaters. The Cubipod is as robust as the cube armor unit and the construction ...

[ES] Se describe la evolución de las técnicas de diseño de los diques rompeolas y de algunos equipos y técnicas constructivas que los han impulsado. Se analiza sobre todo la influencia de las investigaciones teóricas y de ...
