• Depending upon location
4/28/2020 4
DEPENDING UPON PROTECTION NEEDED
1. NATURAL HARBOUR
2. SEMI NATURAL HARBOUR
3. ARTIFICIAL HARBOUR
4/28/2020 5
NATURAL HARBOURS:
A harbor, is a place where ships, boats, and
barges can seek shelter from stormy weather.
4/28/2020 6
SEMI NATURAL HARBOUR:
• Same as natural but harbour needs some
artificial and man made construction.
4/28/2020 7
ARTIFICIAL HARBOUR:
• Harbour having no natural protection but
artificial arrangement are made to protect the
harbour from storm and wind.
4/28/2020 8
DEPENDING UPON UTILITY
OR
FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION:
• 1. HARBOR OF REFUGE
2. COMMERCIAL HARBOR
3. FISHRY HARBOR
4. MILLITARY HARBOR OR NAVEL BASE
4/28/2020 9

4/28/2020 14
MILLITARY HARBOR:
This harbor is meant for
accommodating naval crafts
and serves as a supply
deport.
The layout of this
type of harbor is greatly
influenced by its location.
4/28/2020 15
Classification based on location
Layout of harbor greatly influenced by location
1. Canal harbor
2. Lake harbor
3. River harbor
4. Sea harbor
4/28/2020 16
DRAUGHT
• It is a vertical linear
immersion of ship
below water surface for
the ship to float.
• Safe floating requires
standard vertical
clearance between sea
bed and bottom of ship.
4/28/2020 17
4/28/2020 18
Size of harbor
• Size of harbor depends on number and size of ships
likely to use the harbor at one time.
• The harbor entrance should be designed and located for
quick and easy navigation ships.
• It should be narrow enough not expose the harbor to
the effect of the stormy area.
• Maximum dimension up to 180 M have been adopted.
• Modern ships 275 m to 300 m long
• 30- 40 m wide. maneuvering4/28/2020 19
Size determined by
• Accommodation required
• Convenience for maneuvering and navigation
• Adaptability to natural features
4/28/2020 20
Entrance width
• Narrow Entrance will protect the interior
portion.
• In artificial harbor break water protects the
high intensity of waves from sea.
• Waves from out side harbor setup diminutive
waves inside the harbor depending on the
entrance widths.
4/28/2020 21
Stevens Formula For Entrance width
• Empirical formula suggested by Stevenson with a
limited application is some times used.
• h = 
𝑙
𝐿
− 0.027 4 𝐷 (1+
𝑙
𝐿
)H
• H : height of unrestricted wave at the entrance
month.(m)
• l=width of entrance mouth in M
• L= Width of harbor in M
• h=reduced ht of diminutive wave inside
• This formula applicable to a well protected harbor by a
vertical sea wall ,distance of 15 m
4/28/2020 22
Shape of harbor
• principle to follow for deciding shape.
• Protect harbor from sea waves , one of the
pier head project little beyond others.
• Inside the pier heads, the width should widen
rapidly.
• General shape obtained by a series of straight
length and no re-entrants angle should be
allowed.
4/28/2020 23
Harbor Depth
• Depth generally determined by the following
formula.
• D= D1+
𝐻
3
+D2
• D1= Draft of the largest ship to be
accommodated.
• D2= allowance for squat of the moving ship.
• H = height of storm waves
• Maximum harbor depth= loaded draft +1.2 for
bottom soft rock. 1.8 for hard rock.
4/28/2020 24
Site selection
1.Availability of cheap land and construction
materials
2. Transport and communication facilities
3. Natural protection from winds and waves
4. Industrial development of the locality
5. Sea-bed subsoil and foundation conditions
6. Traffic potentiality of harbor
7. Availability of electrical energy and fresh water
8. Favorable marine conditions
9. Defense and strategic aspects
4/28/2020 25
Meteorological phenomenon
• Meteorology is the scientific study of the
atmosphere that focuses on weather
processes and forecasting.
• Focused on ;
• Wind
• Tides
• Wave
4/28/2020 26
Wind
• Wind : Air in motion is known as wind.
• Direction and speed should taken from the
which the wind blow.
• Speed of wind expressed as knots.
• 1 knots = 1.852 kmph.
4/28/2020 27
TIDES
• The alternate rising and falling of the sea,
usually twice in each lunar day at a particular
place, due to the attraction of the moon and
sun.
4/28/2020 28
A lunar day
• A lunar day is the period of time it takes for
the Earth's Moon to complete one full
rotation on its axis with respect to the Sun
4/28/2020 29
WAVES
• The winds cause waves on the surface of the
ocean (and on lakes).
• The wind transfers some of its energy to the
water, through friction between the air
molecules and the water molecules.
• Stronger winds (like storm surges) cause
larger waves.
4/28/2020 30
HEIGHT AND LENGTH OF WAVES
• A crest is the point on a wave with
the maximum value or upward
displacement within a cycle..
• A trough is the opposite of a crest,
so the minimum or lowest point in
a cycle.
• Fetch, area of ocean or lake
surface over which the wind blows
in an essentially constant direction,
thus generating waves. The term
also is used for fetch length (KM),
which is the horizontal distance
over which wave-generating winds
blow.
4/28/2020 31
• HEIGHT OF THE WAVE IN METERS = 0.34 𝐹
• F Is the fetch in km.(Stevenson formula)
4/28/2020 32
WAVE ACTION
• A sea wave when braking
against in a obstacle or
marine structure which
produce various force.
• Air compression
• Water harmer
4/28/2020 33
coastal current
• Long shore currents are
generated when a "train"
of waves reach
the coastline and release
bursts of energy.
• which runs parallel to the
shoreline. This type
of current is called a
“long shore current.”
4/28/2020 34
Littoral drift
Longshore drift is a geographical
process that consists of the
transportation of sediments (clay, silt,
sand and shingle) along a coast at an
angle to the shoreline, which is
dependent on prevailing wind
direction, swash and backwash.
This process occurs in the littoral zone,
and in or close to the surf zone. The
process is also known as littoral
drift, longshore current or longshore
transport.
4/28/2020 35
Break water
• The protective barrier
constructed to enclose
harbors and to keep the
harbor waters
OR
The structure constructed to
protect harbor from storm
waves
They are generally stone
masonry
Through this shelter, to manipulate the littoral/sand transport
conditions and thereby to trap some sand entrance inside the
Anchorage Area.
4/28/2020 36
Design of breakwaters:
Following information should he collected before
the design of a breakwater:
1.Character of coastal currents
2.Cost and availability of materials of construction
3.Directions and force of prevailing winds
4.Nature of the bottom or foundation
5.Probable maximum height, force and intensity of
waves.
4/28/2020 37
Classification of breakwaters:
• Breakwaters are classified mainly into three
types:
A) Rubble Mound Breakwaters
B) Vertical-wall breakwaters
C) Floating breakwaters
4/28/2020 38
Rubble Mound Breakwaters
It is a heterogeneous assemblage of natural
rubble, undressed stone blocks, rip rap,
supplemented in many cases by artificial blocks
of huge bulk and weight, the whole
being deposited without any regard to bond or
bedding.
4/28/2020 39
Rubble Mound Breakwaters
• A breakwater constructed by a heterogeneous
assemblage of natural rubble or undressed stone.
• When water depths are large Rubble Break Water
may be uneconomical in view of huge volume of
rocks required.
• Built up to water depth of 50m.
• Not suitable when space is a problem. If the
harbor side may have to be used for berthing of
ships, the RBW with its sloping faces is not
suitable for berthing.
• These type of breakwaters dissipate the incident
wave energy by forcing them to break on a slope
and thus do not produce appreciable reflection.4/28/2020 40
STRUCTURAL COMPONENT
1) Constructed by natural rubble or
undressed stones.
2) Comparatively safe.
3) Has a broad base which helps in
distributing the load on a wider area.
4) Consists of central portion called core,
protective cover called Armour layer and
in between is the under layer.
4/28/2020 41
4/28/2020 42
ADVANTAGES OF RMBW
• Use of natural material
• Reduces material cost
• Use of small construction equipment
• Less environmental impact
• Most widely used in Indian ports
• Easy to construct
• Failure is mainly due to poor interlocking
capacity between individual blocks
• Unavailability of large size natural rocks leads to
artificial armour blocks .
4/28/2020 43
Vertical-wall breakwaters
• A breakwater formed by the construction in a
regular and systematic manner of a vertical wall
of masonry concrete blocks or mass concrete,
with vertical and seaward face.
• Reflect the incident waves without dissipating
much wave energy.
• Normally it is constructed in locations where the
depth of the sea is greater than twice the design
wave height.
4/28/2020 44
ADVANTAGES OVER RBW
• saving in material due to smaller body width.
• Rapidity in construction.
• Non availability of large quantities of stones.
• Occupies less space.
4/28/2020 45
4/28/2020 46
Disadvantages of vertical wall break
water
• Sea bottom has to be leveled and prepared for
placements of large blocks or caissons.
• Foundations made of fine sand may cause erosion and
settlement.
• Erosion may cause tilting or displacement of large
monoliths.
• Difficult and expensive to repair.
• Building of caissons and launching or towing them into
position require special land and water areas beside
involvement of heavy construction equipment.
• Require form work, quality concrete, skilled labour,
batching plants and floating crafts.
4/28/2020 47
FLOATING BREAKWATER
• A removable breakwater constructed by caissons or
pontoons with valves for trimming whilst afloat and
for sinking when is position and pump connections for
refloating, moored to the sea bed.
• inexpensive, easily moved from site to site, often very
quickly fabricated.
• ineffective to long waves, must be anchored.

Design of breakwaters: Following information should he collected before the design of a breakwater: 1.Character of coastal currents 2.Cost and availability of materials of construction 3.Directions and force of prevailing winds 4.Nature of the bottom or foundation 5.Probable maximum height, force and intensity of waves. 4/28/2020 37
  • 38. Classification of breakwaters: • Breakwaters are classified mainly into three types: A) Rubble Mound Breakwaters B) Vertical-wall breakwaters C) Floating breakwaters 4/28/2020 38
  • 39. Rubble Mound Breakwaters It is a heterogeneous assemblage of natural rubble, undressed stone blocks, rip rap, supplemented in many cases by artificial blocks of huge bulk and weight, the whole being deposited without any regard to bond or bedding. 4/28/2020 39
  • 40. Rubble Mound Breakwaters • A breakwater constructed by a heterogeneous assemblage of natural rubble or undressed stone. • When water depths are large Rubble Break Water may be uneconomical in view of huge volume of rocks required. • Built up to water depth of 50m. • Not suitable when space is a problem. If the harbor side may have to be used for berthing of ships, the RBW with its sloping faces is not suitable for berthing. • These type of breakwaters dissipate the incident wave energy by forcing them to break on a slope and thus do not produce appreciable reflection.4/28/2020 40
  • 41. STRUCTURAL COMPONENT 1) Constructed by natural rubble or undressed stones. 2) Comparatively safe. 3) Has a broad base which helps in distributing the load on a wider area. 4) Consists of central portion called core, protective cover called Armour layer and in between is the under layer. 4/28/2020 41
  • 43. ADVANTAGES OF RMBW • Use of natural material • Reduces material cost • Use of small construction equipment • Less environmental impact • Most widely used in Indian ports • Easy to construct • Failure is mainly due to poor interlocking capacity between individual blocks • Unavailability of large size natural rocks leads to artificial armour blocks . 4/28/2020 43
  • 44. Vertical-wall breakwaters • A breakwater formed by the construction in a regular and systematic manner of a vertical wall of masonry concrete blocks or mass concrete, with vertical and seaward face. • Reflect the incident waves without dissipating much wave energy. • Normally it is constructed in locations where the depth of the sea is greater than twice the design wave height. 4/28/2020 44
  • 45. ADVANTAGES OVER RBW • saving in material due to smaller body width. • Rapidity in construction. • Non availability of large quantities of stones. • Occupies less space. 4/28/2020 45
  • 47. Disadvantages of vertical wall break water • Sea bottom has to be leveled and prepared for placements of large blocks or caissons. • Foundations made of fine sand may cause erosion and settlement. • Erosion may cause tilting or displacement of large monoliths. • Difficult and expensive to repair. • Building of caissons and launching or towing them into position require special land and water areas beside involvement of heavy construction equipment. • Require form work, quality concrete, skilled labour, batching plants and floating crafts. 4/28/2020 47
  • 48. FLOATING BREAKWATER • A removable breakwater constructed by caissons or pontoons with valves for trimming whilst afloat and for sinking when is position and pump connections for refloating, moored to the sea bed. • inexpensive, easily moved from site to site, often very quickly fabricated. • ineffective to long waves, must be anchored. 4/28/2020 48
