Minor Structures for the Improvement of Wave Disturbance in a Small Harbor

Minor Structures for the Improvement of Wave Disturbance in a Small Harbor

A very important aspect in the planning, design, and maintenance of a harbor is to determine the response of the harbor basin to incident waves. The Saras harbor in South Sardinia (Italy) has been experiencing significant wave disturbance that affects the safety of mooring and operational activities...
