The MCNP is funded by the Operations and Maintenance (O Figure 4 shows the completed project prior to construction of berthing and shoreside facilit

Agat Harbor channel under construction Amplification factors were calculated for incident energy in 1-sec interval period bands from 8 to 20 sec and approaching from three incident angles. Output was reported at 32 locations (grid elements) withi

29、n the harbor for the two initial plans and three alternative plans. The outer boundary of the numerical grid was within the reef flat. Three water levels were tested: 0.72 m, 1.4 m, and the 2.2 m design condition. The final plan recom- mended, Plan 4, extended the north end of the detached breakwate

30、r by 45 m from the original design (Farrar and Chen 1987). Breakwater Breakwater design was accomplished using standard practices found in the 1977 Shore Pro?ection Manual. The Hudson formula was used to select the armor size for the design wave height. The design wave for the structure was selected

31、 as the depth-limited breaking wave at the structure toe, or 0.78 h, where h = water depth. The design depth assumed for the constructed plan was 2.5 m, derived from a mean higher high water level of 0.7 m, plus an estimated combined surge and wave setup of 1.4 m, over a reef flat with an average el

32、evation of 0.3 m. The resulting design wave is 1.9 m.

Design guidance on wave ch

34、aracteristics on cord reefs needs improvement, as most data on wave shoaling and breaking are derived from observations of waves approaching sandy shorelines.

Even less

36、information is available on maximum surge levels behind reef shore- lines. How these factors affected the selection of the design parameters was an important but difficult question. The answer required observations during conditions at or near the design wave and surge conditions or at least condi-

37、tions sufficiently energetic to cause structural damage. Unless a typhoon approached from the west during monitoring, there would be no opportunity to assess breakwater stability. Shoaling of the channel at the entrance was not expected because it was cut through limestone, and exited the live reef

38、face where the water depth was well below project depth. Neither were impacts on adjacent shorelines anticipated, since there was little erodible material on the reef flat and upland areas. Nevertheless, the monitoring plan included periodic inspections of the structure and surrounding shoreline. Th

39、e major issues to be addressed in the study were as follows: a. b. C. d. e. f. Deepwater incident wave climate for the region around Guam. Wave transformation across coral reefs as a function of depth and dis- tance from the reef face. Wave and surge levels behind coral reefs during large wave event

40、s (distant storms to the west would produce large incident waves, even without a local typhoon). Validation of the HARBS model. Wave transformation down steep-sided channels. Response of project and adjacent shoreline. Monitoring Elements A monitoring plan was developed to examine these issues throu

41、gh analysis of data collected over a 3-year observation period (Boc and McGehee 1989). Elements of the monitoring effort are related to the study issues. As is usually the case with coastal engineering field studies, the “ideal” monitoring plan had to be modified to accommodate instrumentation, logi

42、stic, and economic con- straints. The elements of the plan, referenced by letter to the issues are as follows: a. Directional wave energy spectra and surface winds from an offshore site. 8 Issue g, “Wave-induced circulation on a reef flat,” is discussed on pages 18 and 19. Chapter 3 Monitoring Plan

43、Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-b. Wave energy spectra at several locations on a shore-normal transect across the reef flat. c. Wave conditions and water elevations at the structure, and harbor response during large wave events. d. (1

44、) Directional wave energy spectra at the outer boundary of the model. (2) Wave energy spectra at several sites within the harbor. e. Wave energy spectra at the outer and inner ends of the channel. f. Periodic site inspections and aerial photographs of the harbor and surroundings. Element a requires

45、a long, continuous record to obtain the distribution of calm conditions as well as the extreme events that describe the wave climate. Elements b-e require a range of conditions above some threshold of interest, ideally including the modeled incident conditions. In order to capture a suffi- cient ran

46、ge of conditions, including episodic events, it was considered desirable to monitor these sites continuously over the course of the study. Periodic measurements or experiments were not considered initially because of the difficulty of synchronizing measurements with events of interest and because th

47、ese events develop rapidly, making it difficult to fix instruments securely in place before conditions become too violent for placement. The preferred position for measuring the incident climate is directly off- shore of Agat in deep water. These depths are attained relatively close to shore, but in

48、strument constraints, discussed below under “System Design; Data management,” forced a position further offshore. Initially, a site southwest of the island (1A) was selected; a second site to the northwest (IB) was desig- nated to improve performance (see Appendix B, “Performance Critique”). Gauge placement in the channel and harbor posed no particular logistic restrictions, allowing sites to correspond to the channel beginning and end (sites 5A and 5B), and with three of the HARBS model grid points (sites 4B 4D). Site 5A also represents incident wave condit
