Breakwater Stability East Beaver Bay Harbor, Lake Superior, Minnesota: Model Investigation
Abstract
A hydraulic model study was performed on a 1:30-scale model to determine the relative stability and maintenance costs of two types of rubble breakwaters proposed for use at East Beaver Bay Harbor, Minnesota. A comprehensive wind-wave analysis also was conducted to determine the dimensions, directions of approach, and frequency of occurrence of waves which will attack the breakwaters. The results of the model tests and the prototype wind-wave analysis were used jointly to estimate the quantities of breakwater material required for maintenance during breakwater construction and for a 40-year period after construction.
