Reliability-based preliminary design of rubble mound breakwaters

Kıyı Mühendisliği'nde, güvenilirliğe dayalı risk değerlendirme ve yapısal tasarım modeli olan REBAD [1], özellikle büyük yapım maliyetleri ve önemli hasar riskleri ile özdeşleşen kıyı yapılarının ön tasarımı için geliştirilen bir modeldir. Güvenilirliğe dayalı yapısal tasarım alt-modeli, Türkiye'nin güneyinde Akdeniz kıyısında bulunan Finike ilçesinde inşa edilen Finike Yat Limanı projesine uygulanmıştır. T.C. Ulaştırma Bakanlığı tarafından inşa edilen Finike Yat Limanı bir kamu projesidir. Van der Meer yıkım modu fonksiyonlarının kullanıldığı güvenilirliğe dayalı modelin sonuçları, belirlenimci tasarım ve hidrolik model deneylerinin sonuçları ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Modelin uygulamaları, Türkiye'de ekonomik olduğu için en çok kullanılan dalgakıran yapısı olan taş dolgu dalgakıranlar için çok önemlidir.

Taş dolgu dalgakıranların güvenilirliğe dayalı ön tasarımı

The reliability-based risk assessment and structural design model (REBAD) [1] introduced in coastal engineering, is a worthwhile tool in the preliminary design of coastal structures which are portrayed by vast failure consequences and significant resource expenditures. The reliability-based design sub-model is implemented to Finike Yacht Harbor project which is constructed near the coastal city of Finike located on the Mediterranean Sea, south of Türkiye. Finike yacht harbor construction project is a public investment administrated by the Ministry of Transportation. The results of reliability-based model which utilizes the failure functions of Van der Meer, are compared with the deterministic design approach and hydraulic model tests. The implementation of model to the design of rubble-mound breakwaters has an utmost importance especially in countries such as Turkey, where the use of natural stone for breakwaters is very common due to its economy.
