Question: 2 . The pier includes a docking site at the end. As a safety measure, the dock ( end of pier ) must be 8

2. The pier includes a docking site at the end. As a safety measure, the dock (end of pier)must be 80 m away from the breaking zone and the sediment closure depth. Determinethe length of the pier and the depth at the docking site.Hint 1: For the breaking criterion use k=0.78=H/h. You can use the approximation of lecturenotes (i.e. the wave angle is approximately 0 at the breaking zone). Use the wave height of (a)to get the deep water wave.Hint 2: For the closure depth use the "deeper seaward closure depth" and the formula ofHallermeier and Birkemeier. Compute He with o, and H, from the table.Beach slopeAnnual average of significant wave height, H,Annual standard deviation of significant wave height,|Offshore (deep) storm wave height Weibullparameter, aOffshore (deep) storm wave height Weibullparameter, AOffshore (deep) storm wave height Weibullparameter, BNumber of storms with Offshore (deep) Hs>1.5 mduring 20 years0.1(V:H)6.1 m0.4 m1.241,22m1.17m1546
