Abstract :

Breakwaters are one of the most important structures in the field of Coastal Engineering. Breakwaters, while preventing waves from entering the harbor or basin, must maintain its own stability at the same time. The high wind load of the coasts, especially in the winter months can damage the houses. In this study, a modern precast concrete breakwater that is easy to transport and install is proposed to reduce the impact of waves hitting the coast. Breakwater unit has concrete quality minimum 40 Mpa. Sulfate resistant admixture EN197-1 cem I42,5 R-SR5 is used in mix design to resist sea water salt effects. As a result, a low cost, easy to manufacture, corrosion and salt water resistant, long lasting breakwater has been developed.
