St. Paul Harbor, St. Paul Island, Alaska; Design for Wave and Shoaling Protection; Hydraulic Model Investigation
1988
Bottin, Robert R. | Mize, Marvin G.
A 1:75-scale three-dimensional hydraulic model was used to investigate the design of a proposed breakwater extension at St. Paul Harbor, St. Paul Island, Alaska, with respect to wave and shoaling conditions. The model reproduced approximately 13,500 ft of the island shoreline and included the existing harbor (located in Village Cove) and sufficient offshore area in the Bering Sea to permit generation of the required test waves. Improvement plans consisted of extensions to the existing breakwater and the installation of breakwater spurs and a new secondary breakwater structure. A 60-ft-long unidirectional, spectral wave generator, an automated data acquisition and control system, and a crushed coal tracer material were utilized in model operation. (FR)
