Abstract

A novel rapidly installed fixed free surface breakwater is proposed and discussed in
this project. Breakwater is functioned as one of the coastal protection measures
against the destructive wave energy. Many studies were conducted in the past
decades on the performance of conventional breakwaters however, the setup for the
conventional breakwaters is time consuming and improper to be applied for temporal
coastal protection. Even though foreign technologies have been proposed to
overcome the abovementioned issue, the wave attenuation performance of a
breakwater is subjected to the wave environment. To address the issue, a novel
rapidly installed fixed free surface breakwater which suits the Malaysia’s wave
environment is proposed to benefit the locals. It provides a temporal and retractable
coastal protection with shorter setup time.
