What reading level is Coastal Engineering Research Consulting And Teaching 1946 1997 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For a breakwater in shallow water, the biggest wave will have broken in deeper water. So we find because of the characteristics of rock that comes out of different quarries, that you can't get rock big enough in some places to stand up to the size waves you're going to have in deep water. Engineers had been designing breakwaters using cast concrete units as armor. They started with a French design called tetrapod. These were cast out of concrete. This is just an example; there's many kinds of d...ifferent ones: tetrapods, hetrapods, acropods. Everybody's got their own name.
Swent: Tetrapod would mean four feet. Wiegel: Probably, I would think so. Yes. Swent: And it's a four-footed affair.
Wiegel: As long as they were less than a certain size they were quite adequate, because people didn't want to put steel in them for a couple of reasons: one, it cost a lot more; but secondly, any cracks and you get corrosion. Remember you're in the ocean, and it is a very corrosive environment. We asked one of the people here, Bill Godden, who was professor of civil engineering at Berkeley, and had done a lot of work on the earthquake resistance design of structures, both theory and making models shaking tables shake highway overpasses and shake bridges.
