Modern design of berm breakwaters began about thirty years ago.
However, to date, there has been a lack of a well-established,
formal design methodology on berm breakwaters. The authors Dr
Jentsje van der Meer and Sigurdur Sigurdarson combine over 40 years
of collective experience working with breakwaters to put forward a
design framework in Design and Construction of Berm Breakwaters;
covering the science and design practices of berm breakwater
structures. The original design consisted of mass armoured berms
that reshaped into statically stable S-shaped slopes. The design
was adopted in Iceland and eventually led to a development with
more stable structures by using available rock sizes, large rock,
and more rock gradings than just 'small rock (core)' and 'large
rock (berm)'. This more stable and only partly reshaping structure
is called the Icelandic-type berm breakwater.Written for
researchers and practitioners, the volume consists of chapters on
geometrical designs of the berm breakwater cross-section, including
berm reshaping and wave overtopping, quarry and project management,
as well as blasting and sorting techniques, designs for various
wave conditions and available rock classes, and case studies of
already constructed berm breakwaters.
