Abstract
Floating breakwaters which have usually been constructed for marinas in the milder wave climate regions of Turkey can be an efficient alternative for the harbors with high water depth, steep bottom slope and poor soil conditions. This study presents a model for Candarli Container Terminal with a floating breakwater where the water depth is reaching to 40 m and the soil is too weak. However, breakwater of Candarli Container Terminal was designed as a combination of rubble mound breakwater with 800m length and piled breakwater with 1000 m length. According to the design, two rows of 90m length piles with a diameter of 1.778m will be driven with 0.2m distance between two piles. Although the construction of the breakwater has already been started in Candarli, in this study, floating breakwater scenario is studied to investigate the performance of the floating breakwater and the possibility of its usage for the harbors with moderate wave climate. The results of the model study show that the required wave agitation could be gained when a port is constructed through floating breakwater scenario
