Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of breakwaters and jetties under the jurisdiction of the Corps in the North Atlantic Division, including a close examination of 58 projects, which have served as essential maritime structures over many years. The author delves into the diverse construction methods and materials used in various projects, from stone-filled timber cribs and steel to rubble mounds, concrete, and timber, demonstrating how engineering techniques have evolved with time. Throughout the book, the author examines the impact of coastal processes, wave and current forces, and movable-bed materials on these structures, highlighting common problems and providing case studies of maintenance and repair efforts. Specific examples of successful and unsuccessful solutions are analyzed to provide valuable insights for coastal engineers, researchers, and anyone interested in the challenges of preserving coastal structures. This book not only provides a historical record of Corps breakwater and jetty projects but also offers a rich source of practical knowledge, case studies, and engineering insights. It is a valuable resource for understanding the diverse nature of these structures, the challenges they face, and the innovative solutions that have been developed to ensure their continued functionality.
