IMPROVING EXISTING DESIGN GUIDANCE OF OFFSHORE BREAKWATER FOR PREDICTING SHORELINE RESPONSE TO SUBMERGED BREAKWATER

Emergent coastal structures, such as groynes, detached offshore breakwaters and sea walls have been successfully adopted as coastal protection measures for many decades_ However, environmentally aware modem communities are beginning to prefer engineering structures that are less intrusive and mor...
