Abstract
Some results of an experimental study on a scale model of the project of Rivière-au-Renard Harbor improvements in the Province of Quebec, carried out for the Department of Public Works of Canada, are presented. This study has been dictated by the construction of new wharfs inside the harbor where the wave agitation could attain a level such that ship manoeuvring can be affected. The hydraulic model study was then undertaken in order to evaluate the relative efficiency of different types of solutions proposed by engineers of the Department of Public Works in order to reduce the wave agitation inside the harbor near the proposed structure to an acceptable level. The main constraints on these protection structures are that they should not hold up the maritime traffic and that they should be economical. This paper presents the results of most promising structures to be used in order to provide an additional protection.
