Introduction of JTS 154-1-2011

1 General Provisions 1.0.1 This code is formulated with a view to unifying the technical requirements for design and construction of the breakwater engineering and guaranteeing the safety, applicability and durability of the breakwaters. 1.0.2 This code is applicable to the design and construction of breakwaters in harbour engineering, and other hydraulic structures bearing wave action may refer to this code. 1.0.3 The determination of breakwater plane layout, design water level and wave conditions shall comply with the relevant requirements of the current professional standards "Design Code of General Layout for Sea Port" (JTJ 211) and "Code for Sea Port Hydrology" (JTJ 213). 1.0.4 The design and construction of breakwaters shall not only comply with the code, but also those in the current relevant ones of the nation. 2 Terms 2.0.1 Berm A platform on mound breakwater slope surface, or banquette. 2.0.2 Armor block Block stone or concrete block for mound breakwater armor. 2.0.3 Allowable ratio of instability of block The percentage of block numbers allowing moving or falling under wave action within the range of 1.0 times the design wave height armor above and below the calculation water level. 2.0.4 Wide-berm rubble mound breakwater Mound breakwater with block stone armor that berm is relatively wide and berm and slope surface are allowed to generate a certain deformation and form dynamic equilibrium profile under wave action. 2.0.5 Vertical breakwater of normal placed blocks Gravity vertical breakwater that the body is built by precast concrete block layer by layer. 2.0.6 Vertical breakwater of caissons Gravity vertical breakwater that the body consists of reinforced concrete caisson. 2.0.7 Horizontal composite breakwater Vertical breakwater of block stone or concrete block with close outside filling and breakwater body height. 2.0.8 Chamfered vertical breakwater Vertical breakwater that superstructure outside is a chamfer angle. 2.0.9 Vertical breakwater of perforated caissons Vertical breakwater of caissons, which is opened in outer wall and internally arranged with wave breaking chamber. 2.0.10 Seated-cylinder vertical breakwater Vertical breakwater that the body consists of major-diameter cylinder and is placed on rubble-mound bedding. 2.0.11 Piled vertical breakwater Vertical breakwater which consists of row of piles. 2.0.12 Semi-circular breakwater Breakwater that the body consists of reinforced concrete member or semi-circular caisson composed of semi-circular arch ring and bottom slab and is placed on rubble-mound bedding. 2.0.13 Open type breakwater Breakwater that the upper part is for wave screening and the lower part is open. 2.0.14 Overtopping There is stratified water to cross the breakwater top. 2.0.15 Overtopping volume The water quantity that wave crosses the breakwater crest, which is expressed with average overtopping flow per linear meter. 3 Basic Requirements 3.1 General Requirements 3.1.1 The longitudinal axis of the breakwater should not stagger outwards to form concave corner; where the breakwater axis is necessary to stagger outwards, the external included angle should not be less than 150°. 3.1.2 The selection of breakwater structural type and the determination of cross section dimension shall meet the following requirements. 3.1.2.1 The structural selection of the breakwater shall be determined through comprehensive technical and economic comparison according to service requirements, natural conditions, material source and construction conditions, etc. If necessary, the structural type with hydrophilicity or landscape effect may be considered in combination with site conditions and local cultural background.
