Performance Design of Maritime Structures and Its Application to Armor Stones and Blocks of Breakwaters
説明
Reliability design considering probabilistic nature is quite suitable for coastal structures because waves are of irregular nature and wave actions fluctuate. However, solely considering the probability of failure is considered insufficient, as deformation (damage level) should also be taken into account. This paper discusses performance design as an advanced design methodology for maritime structures, focusing on deformation-based reliability design of armor stones and blocks of breakwaters. The stability performance of breakwater armors is specifically considered by describing the design criteria (allowable limits) of damage level with respect to different design levels including probabilistic aspects. The accumulated damage during a lifetime is also discussed.
