title = "Recent Innovations on Some Coastal Structures",
abstract = "This article discusses the technical, economical and environmental aspects of three different novel coastal structures used as wave dampers for different applications. One is floating breakwater with skirt walls; other one is vertical porous walls with an impervious back wall used for the construction of Ports, Harbors and marinas and the third one is on vertical porous slotted wave barrier as a substitute or for replacing offshore rubble mound breakwaters. The knowhow of these three US patents are revealed. The merits and demerits are also described. It is proved that these inventions are economical when compared to the conventional solution used for wave damping applications. It is encouraging to see that some of these products are better in terms of wave damping performance compared to rubble mound wave barriers. It is strongly believed that the clients from around the world would use these innovations for their future coastal infrastructure developments.",
