Flexible pipes are extensively used to connect seabed and floating production systems for the development of deep-water oil and gas. In the top connection area, end fitting (EF) is the connector between the flexible pipe and floating platform, as a criti...

Armor damage due to wave attack is the principal failure mode to be considered when designing conventional mound breakwaters. Armor layers of mound breakwaters are typically designed using formulas in the literature for non-overtopped mound breakwaters i...

The correct calculation of forces and moments caused by wave action over crown wall structures is critical for their design. There are several existing equations for this, some of which are sanctioned in practice as it is the case for Jensen (1984) and B...

This paper aims to evaluate the structural strength of unreinforced concrete armor units (CAU), named Cubipod®, used on rubble-mound breakwaters and coastal structures, through a numerical methodology using the combined finite?discrete element method (FD...

Mound breakwaters with significant overtopping rates in depth-limited conditions are common in practice due to social concern about the visual impact of coastal structures and sea level rise due to climatic change. For overtopped mound breakwaters, the h...
