Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4

Abstract

Caisson breakwaters are among the commonly constructed breakwaters, especially in Japan. Reducing the transmitted waves into ports and harbors is an essential process in order to dock the ships arriving at them. Concrete caisson breakwaters are widely used and have a large impact on the economy and industrial advancement of countries. A general guide for the construction of caisson breakwaters is presented in this paper. The main purpose that this paper serves is presenting an overall guide for the processes of planning, designing, constructing, loading-out, transportation and installation of the concrete caisson breakwaters.
