A permeable sponge breakwater composed of doubly-curved hyperbolic paraboloids dissipates wave energy through absorption.
Modular elevated waterfront platform raises infrastructure above projected flood levels, preventing force transference during adverse events.
A multifunctional floating breakwater converts wave energy into electricity while providing a stable water environment for aquaculture.
Tunnel channels direct melt streams through separate passages to prevent mixing and reduce gate wear during multi-layer injection.
Monocoque fiberglass reinforced plastic dock floats integrate concrete beams to resolve service life versus fabrication cost trade-offs.
Cylindrical members with predetermined porosity reduce wave energy through drag and frictional effects.
Segmented nozzle channels control skin and core melt streams to resolve reciprocating movement inaccuracies and gate alignment difficulties.
