In recent years, water intimate amenity functions have also been required. In ‘general, there are many cases in which the protective facilites for harbors are expected to provide a combination ‘of several ofthese fictions. Accordingly, in performance verifications, due consideration to enable the facilities to fulfil these purposes is necessary. @ When constructing protective facilites for harbors, their layout and structural type shall be decided after giving ‘careful consideration fo the influences that will be exerted on the nearby water area, facilities, topography, and ‘water currents. The influences caused by the protective harbor facilities for harbors are as follows: © When the protective facilities are constructed on a coast of sandy beach, they may cause various morphological changes tothe surrounding aea such as beach acretion or ercsion, ® Consteetion of breakwaters may increase the wave height tthe outside ofthe protective facilites because of reflected waves. @ In the inside of e harbor, the calmness of water area may be disturbed because of multiple wave reflections: triggered by coustructon ofthe new protective facies or hater esilations due tothe changes of babar shape @ Constustion ofthe protective facilites may bring shout changes inthe surrounding tidal currents ot fw conditions of a river mouth, thus inviting localized changes of water quality. (@) Because of the fact that the protective facilitios also provide e habitat for marine organisms such as fish, marine plants, and plankton, the biological environments must also be taken into consideration when planning a facility layout and making structural design. (@) When locating the protective facilities adjacent to the areas such as natural park zones or cultural facilities, it is preferable to consider not only the functions of the facilities themseives bat also external appearance such a5 shape and color. In addition, in situstions where water intimate amenity functions will be added to the protective facilities, convenience and safety of people must also be taken into consideration ~583— TECHNICAL STANDARDS AND COMMENTARIES FOR PORT AND HARGOUR FACILITIES IN JAPAN (6) Because there is a danger that damage to the protective facilities may affect the safety of ships in the harbor, the ‘mooring facilities, hinterland facilites, it is preferable to conduct an adequate exemination corresponding to the performance requirements of the protective facilites when constructing, improving, and maintaining those facilities, 584— PART Il FACILITIES, CHAPTER 4 PROTECTIVE FACILITIES FOR HARBORS 2 Common Items for Breakwaters Ministerial Ordinance Performance Requirements for Breakwaters Article 14 1 The performance requirements for breakwaters shall be as specified in the subsequent items depending on the structure type for the purpose of securing safe navigation, anchorage and mooring of ships, ensuring smooth cargo handling, and preventing damage to buildings, structures, and other facilities in the port by ‘maintaining the calmness in the harbor water area.

[Technical Note} 2.1 Principals of Performance Verification {1} General ‘Maintenance of harbor calmness shall be examined from the two viewpaints which include the enabling of cargo handling in the basin and the condition of waves enabling refuge during rough weather. For harbor calmness in the ‘basin and the condition of waves during rough weather, Part Il, Chapter 2, 4.5 Concept of Harbor Calmness and Chapter 3, 3 Basins can be used as references. 2] Layout (D Breakwaters are constructed to maintain the harbor calmness, facilitate smooth cargo handling, ensure the safety of ships during navigation or anchorage, and protect port facilites, ‘To fulfill these requirements, the following are required: @ Brealowaters should be so located that the harbor entrance is a the location not facing the direction of the most frequent waves and the direction ofthe highest waves in order to reduce entrance of waves to the harbor. © Breakwater alignment should be arranged to protect the harbor from the most frequent waves and the highest waves. ‘The harbor entrance should have a sufficient effective width so that it will not present an obstacle to ship navigation, and it should orient the navigation chennel ina direction that makes navigation easy. @ Breakwaters should be located at the place where the speed of tidal currents is as slow as possible, In eases where the speed of tidal currents is high, itis necessary to take appropriate countermeasures. © The influences of reflected waves, Mach-stem waves, and wave concentration on the waterways and basins should be minimize, © Breakcwaters should enclose sufficient large woter area that is needed for ship berthing, cargo handling, and ship anchorage. ‘These objectives are also mutually contradictory goals, however. A narrow harbor entrance width, for example, is best in order to achieve the calmness in @ harbor but is inconvenient for navigetion. The direction ‘of most frequent waves and the direction of the highest waves are not necessarily the same. In ths situation ‘the breakwater layout should be determined through a comprehensive investigation of all the factors such as conditions of ship use, construction cost, construction works, and ease or dffculty of maintenance @) In situations where concerns for deterioration of water quality exist, consideration is preférably given to the exchangeability of seawater with the cutsie sea so that seawater within the harbor does not stagnate. @) In the construction of breakwaters, economy should also be examined considering the natural conditions and ‘construction conditions. In particular, itis preferable to consider the following, © Layouts which enuse wave concentrations shovld be avoided © LLocatiois where the ground is extremly poor should be avoided, considering consructability and economy. © The layout should consider the effects of topographical features such as capes and islands. @ On sandy beaches, the layout should consider invasion of littoral drift into the harbor. © Adequate consideration should be given to the effect on adjacent ereas after the construction of the breakwater, For wave concenttation, Part U, Chapter 2, 4.3.4[3] Transformation of Waves at Concave Corners near the Heads of Breakwaters and around Detached Breakwaters can be used as reference; for breakwaters 10 ‘be constructed on sandy beaches, Part Il, Chapter 2, 6.3 Littoral Drift can be used as reference. (@) Breakwaters should be so located that they do not form an obstacle to the future development of the harbor. (©) The “effective harbor entrance width” means the widih of the waterway at the specified depth of water, not ‘merely the width across the harbor entrance, The speed of the tidal currents cutting across the harbor entrance is preferably less than 2 to 3 knots (6 Inthe areas surrounding shoals, the wave height often increases owing to wave reftaction, In some cases, impact ‘wave forces will act on the breakwater constructed on a seabed with steep slope. It should be noted that a very large structure may be required when a breakwater is placed over or directly behind a shoal, 588 PART i FACILITIES, CHAPTER 4 PROTECTIVE FACILITIES FOR HARBORS (7) For detached breakwaters which are to be constructed in isolation offshore, if the length of the breakwater is Tess than several times that of the incident waves, the distribution of the wave heights behind the breakwater wil fluctuate greatly due tothe effect of diffracted waves from the two ends of the breakwater, which will affect the stability ofthe breakwater body; therefore, caulion is necessary. For the effects of diffracted waves, Part Il Chapter 2, 4.3.2 Wave Diffraction and Part If, Chapter 2, 4.3.4 [3} Transformation of Waves at Concave Corners near the Heads of Breakwaters and around Detached Breakwaters can be used as reference. [3] Selection of Structural Type and Setting of Cross Section (0) In setting the cross sections of breakwaters, itis preferable to select the type of structure based on @ comparative examination of the layout conditions, natural conditions, use conditions, importance, construction conditions, economy, term of construction work, ease of obiaining materials, and ease of maintenance, considering the features of respective types of structures, @) Breakwaters are generally classified as shown in Fig. 2.11 by the type of structure and functions or purposes. In this figure, ordinery breakwater means a breakwater having basic functions. @) Selection of a permeable type breakwater structure is advantageous for promoting circulation of sea water in the harbor. However, because this also invites inflow of littoral drift and an increase in the height of transmitted ‘waves, adequate consideration of the merits and demerits is necessary when adopting this type. () There are also cases in which creative ingenuity is used to promote adhesion of marine life inside and outside the harbor. 2,34, .61.7.8493, 10) (6) In cases where the layout of a breakwater includes a concave corner, the wave height around the concave corner will increase. Therefore, itis preferable to adopt a low reffestive structure around concave corners. (6) In determining the cross-sectional dimensions ofthe wave-cissipating work inthe wave- dissipating function of 2 breakwater, itis necessary to give adequate consideration to hyciraulic characteristics so thatthe specified wave- ) Its preferable to determine the tidal level by celeulating the ratio (hereinafter, ry) of the highest high water level, FLH.W.L., and the mean monthly-highest water level, HLW.L., based on the records of observation of tidal levels. However, at harbors where tidal levels are not monitored, ri for object harbor may be set referring tothe distribution of 7, shown in Fig, 3.1.3, and the partial factors may be selected from Table 3.1.1.

The simplified Bishop method is adopted because itis the model which can best explain stability with respect to bearing capacity, in comparison with the modified Fellenius method and friction circle method, by experiments ina centrifogal field. However, deformation experiments with rubble mounds under the action of eccentric and inclined loads have demonstrated that when a rubble mound fails, the sliding surface does not necessarily occur along the circular are with the lowest stability against slip failure. Caution is also necessary in adoption ofthis ‘method as numerical analysis using the diserete element method has show thatthe actual failure mechanism is, different from circular slip failure according to the simplified Bishop method.5) In the following equation, the syrabol 7 is the partial factor for its subseript, and the subscript d denote the characteristic value, Tl feat +(w'r+ ay) tang }seod /(1-rtan Otangy/F)] (ro [Ells +a4)sind] ray, /R] ]= F; 210 G17) Py: horizontal wave force (kN/m) a, :arm length of horizontal wave force (m) for cohesive sll ground, undraned shear strength, and for sandy ground, apparent cohesion in drained condition (Nm) 4 width of slice segment (rn) ww’ weight of slice segment (Nm) 4. surcharge ating on slice segment (kN/n) # apparent angle of shear resistance based on effective stress) 2: anale formed by slice segment with bottom C) 2‘ supplementary parameter showing ratio of design velue of resistance nd design value of effect of ection rads of sip cielo (m) Yo + Structural analysis factor ‘The design values inthe equation can be calculated using the following equations —600~ PART il FACILITIES, CHAPTER 4 PROTECTIVE FACILITIES FOR HARBORS G.L8) tans = Fang tans Py = Ley Py © For the load width 26" of the surcharge, adopting the average valuc, using the biases of the average value of the fcignpstnten iesdas, Insddhion ther oer of risharge ret re overeat tot rite chases vale, These else ns be pote vig te flowing equate 019) od quation Gully a then option ydenler te average vale of he sree fhe obec aad lt, denotes the bias (average valuclcharacteristic value) of the average value of the parameter X. 20 _{(o1Bi-esPs-esPu) 2h | oF LWP l Hey, ag “ WW, — ay 2% Py, a2, a, 2.
