COAST PROTECTION STRUCTURES WITH A WAVEDISSIPATION CHAMBERS
Pages 137-142
Presently, many coast protection structures built in the 20th century along the coastline of the Black and Azov seas are in the emergency state. The pre-set term of their service life has expired, as they were designed to withhold substantial storm loads occurring every 25 years. These structures were repeatedly exposed to design storm loads. Besides, during severe winters, they were exposed to ice loads. Passive coast protection structures designated for protection of areas accommodating industrial and civil buildings close to the shoreline need urgent restructuring.New design of a passive coast protection structure is presented in this paper in detail. The proposed structure can efficiently resist both the load of sea waves and ice in rare severe winters. Thus, this structural solution can reliably protect areas accommodating industrial and civil buildings close to the shoreline.Currently, artificial islands are used to extract hydrocarbons from sea deposits in the shallow waters of the continental shelf. New passive coast protection structures can be used to protect slopes of artificial islands and earth dams from waves and ice.
