Reliability-based Design Model For Rubble-mound Coastal Defense Structures

In this thesis, a new computer model (tool) for the reliability-based design of
rubble-mound coastal defense structures is developed in which design is
carried out in a user frienly way giving outputs on time variant reliability for
the predetermined lifetimes and damage levels. The model aims to perform the
following steps:
1. Determine the sources of uncertainties in design parameters
2. Evaluate the damage risk of coastal structures which are at design stage
and are recently constructed.
3. Study the sensitivity of limit state functions to the design parameters.
Different from other reliability studies on coastal projects, a new design
computer program is developed that can be easily used by everyone working in
coastal engineering field.
