The stability of singular points such as the stability of the rear attacked by overtopping waves, the stability of the head and the longshore transport of material due to oblique wave attack were investigated and are summarized secondly in the present paper. The more basic aspects of these STUdies were treated in depth by Van der Meer and Veldman (1992). For the design of the rock armor layer of the physical model, the van der Meers hydraulic stability formula was applied. ![]() Two practical cases of berm breakwaters were extensively tested at DELFT HYDRAUUCS. The physical model of scale factor 1/30, was designed in such a way so it resembles part of a system of detached breakwaters located parallel to the shoreline, in a coast of constant slope 1/15, assuming Froude similarity. basic research is also focussed on the berm breakwater with the final aim of design rules. Authors: van der Meer, J W Publication Date: 1986-12 Media Info. For example a flatter down slope, a higher berm level and a higher toe level all decrease the expected recession. Availability: Find a library where document is available. The wave transmission characteristics for submerged breakwaters are obtained from the empirical formula deduced from experiments by Van der Meer and dAngremond 11,which considers submergence. The formulas have been rewritten in the form of reliability functions and can be used for probabilistic design. In the MAST I and II project of the European Union. A deterministic approach was used in drawing design graphs. The empirical formula of Hudson (1959) and Van der Meer (1987, 1988 calculates the degree of damage to the armor layer of a rubblemound breakwater during the peak of a design storm. However, most literature on berm breakwaters has been focussed on practical applications. van der Meer has integrated the use of BIM (Building Information Modelling) across a large number of projects, and is recognised as an industry leader in the delivery of comprehensive 3D models. Other basic research on berm breakwater profiles was done by Kao and Hall (1990). was re-analyzed and focussed only on the behaviour of the seaward slope of berm breakwaters in Van der Meer (1992), leading to a computational model on a personal computer. We have a reputation for technical design excellence, and with offices. The extensive research of Van der Meer (1988) on dynamically stable slopes, including berm breakwaters, but also rock and gravel beaches. 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. van der Meer is one of Australia’s leading engineering consultancies providing a diverse range of specialist structural and civil design consultancy services across multiple sectors including commercial, health, retail, industrial, residential, education, events & staging.
