Design of Agana Small-Boat Harbor, Territory of Guam: Hydraulic Model Investigation.
Abstract
A 1:50-scale undistorted hydraulic model of Agana Harbor, the surrounding reef, and sufficient offshore area to permit generation of the required test waves was used to investigate the arrangement and design of proposed harbor improvements with respect to wave heights and wave-induced circulation conditions. The basic harbor configuration consisted of a new berthing basin (approximately 700 by 800 ft at an elevation of -8 ft), an excess channel (80 ft wide at an elevation of 10 ft), an entrance channel (100 ft wide at elevation of -12 to -15 ft), a revetted landfill (including an area for a sewage treatment plant), east and west breakwaters, a wave absorber, and circulation channels (25 ft wide at an elevation of -8 ft). Variations to the basic configuration included: (a) number, location, and orientation of circulation channels; (b) location of sewage treatment plant landfill; (c) size and shape of harbor landfill; and (s) length and alignment of east and west breakwaters.
