Breakwaters '99: First International Symposium on Monitoring of Breakwaters

Proceedings of the First International Symposium on Monitoring of Breakwaters, held in Madison, Wisconsin, September 8-10, 1999.

This collection contains 13 papers that present state-of-the-art methods and technologies that can be used in the structural and environmental monitoring of rubble mound breakwaters. Structural monitoring concerns the structural response and the mechanical properties of the structure and its foundation. Environmental monitoring concerns the external loading on the structure and the effect the structure has on the total environment. Papers focus on actual experiences in the field of monitoring breakwaters.
