Physical Modeling of Small-Boat Harbors: Design Experience, Lessons Learned, and Modeling Guidelines.
1992
Bottin, Robert R.
This report summarizes the knowledge and insight gained on small-boat harbor design through years of physical model investigations conducted at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station. An inventory of physically modeled, small-boat harbor projects has been complied and reviewed. Small-boat harbors modeled and subsequently constructed in the prototype, also have been identified. Site specific performance of these projects has been reviewed to determine if the designs recommended in the model investigations were built as recommended and if they have functioned successfully in the prototype. These reviews and study efforts have resulted in a summary of lessons learned through physical modeling of small-boat harbors and site specific performance in the prototype. Types of small-boat harbors and typical problems, physical modeling in general, and physical modeling guidelines also are included in this report.
