Book Description
In this report, several level II reliability techniques are discussed and applied to breakwater design. Using these methods, the reliability and reliability index are determined for the dominant performance functions of a breakwater including stone and concrete armor stability, concrete armor structural response, runup, and overflopping. The methods include Taylor series finite difference (TSFD) methods, which are shown to be easily computed using a handheld calculator or spreadsheet. The TSFD method is shown to yield reasonable accuracy for preliminary comparison of various alternatives. An invariant iterative TSFD method and associated FORTRAN program are shown, which provide an improved approximation to the reliability for design and evaluation purposes.

Book Description
This book delineates the methods required by government agencies for river and sea defense design and flood defense system management and demonstrates how to evaluate uncertainty in the performance of flood and erosion defenses. It introduces the statistical concepts required for the implementation of a reliability analysis and describes the analytical and the numerical methods with worked examples. The author provides examples of applications of the methods to illustrate their advantages and limitations, and includes case studies drawn from his experience in academia and consulting.

Book Description
This work describes the key results of the European research project called PROVERBS to develop and implement probability-based methods for the design of monolithic coastal structures and breakwaters subject to sea wave attacks. The issues treated include the hydrodynamic, geotechnical and structural processes involved in the wave-structure-foundation interactions and in the associated failure mechanisms.
