Abstract :
Discusses the application of computer simulation for the analysis of productivity of breakwater construction. Data collected from the first stage of the South Star Project in Taiwan is used in modeling and analysis. The South Star project involves embanking land from the sea, using industrial waste as deposits and expanding the seashore line as well as increasing land for the industrial city of Kaohsiung. The main benefit of this simulation analysis is a detailed look at the techniques for improving breakwater construction
