Book Description
A physical model and a numerical model were used to investigate the design of proposed breakwater configurations for wave protection in the Fisherman's Warf area, San Francisco Bay, California. A 1:75-scale (undistorted) physical model was used to determine wave conditions in the harbor for locally generated short-period wind waves and swell conditions entering through the Golden Gate. The model included the entire Fisherman's Wharf area (Bordered by Pier 45 on the east and Municipal Pier on the west) and underwater contours in San Francisco Bay to a depth of 60 ft. A 40-ft-long wave generator, crushed coal sediment tracer material, and an automated data acquisition and control system were utilized in model operation. A hybrid finite element numerical model capable of calculating forced harbor oscillations for harbors of arbitrary shape and variable depth was used to calculate harbor resonance at Fisherman's Warf. A numerical finite element grid was used to compute wave-height amplification factors and normalized maximum current velocities associated with the area's response to incident long-period waves ranging from 300 to 600 sec. A ship surge analysis was conducted for the ships moored along or near the Hyde Street Pier.

Fisherman's Wharf Breakwater Monitoring Study, San Francisco, California
Author: Jonathan W. Lott
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Breakwaters
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
A field monitoring study of the Fisherman's Wharf breakwater was conducted as part of the Monitoring Completed Coastal Projects (MCCP) program. The Corps project referred to as the 'Fisherman's Wharf breakwater' in this report consists of a combination of three discrete reinforced concrete sheet-pile structures. The main detached breakwater is an impermeable vertical wall structure with additional support provided by batter piles. The other two structural elements are similar, except that they have openings to allow the passage of tidal flows. The breakwater is located on the north-facing waterfront of the city of San Francisco, California, adjacent to the world-famous Fisherman's Wharf small-craft harbor, bordered by Aquatic Park, Municipal pier, Hyde Street pier, and Pier 45. The site is subject to both local waves from fetches within San Francisco Bay and ocean-generated waves which penetrate to the site via the Golden Gate. The breakwater was designed primarily to attenuate the damaging short-period waves that are largest from the north to northeast directions. The breakwater also provides protection for the historic ships berthed at Hyde Street pier and allows for expansion and improvement of the commercial fishing berthing facilities. Concurrent requirements were to prevent increases in harbor oscillations (surge) and to permit sufficient tidal circulation to avoid degradation of water quality. Aquatic park, Coastal structures, Baffled breakwater, Current measurements, Coastal structure design.
