Book excerpt: Excerpt from Case Histories of Corps Breakwater and Jetty Structures: Report 4, Pacific Ocean Division Is presented on page 3.4. Overall there are approximately lin ft of breakwater percent) and jetty percent) structures in pod. With the exceptions of the Kalaupapa, Pohoiki, and Waianae breakwaters, all of the structures were originally constructed of armor stone. Armor stone sizes have varied from a minimum of tons used on the Auasi breakwater to a maximum of 12 tons used on several structures (except for 1959 repairs to Kahului which used 12-ton minimum). Repairs have been made on five of the structures (haleiwa, Hilo, Kahului, Nawiliwili, and Port Allen), and one structure has been modified (kalaupapa). Materials used for these repairs have included one or more of the following: armor stone (often to previous design specifications), con crete armor units (tetrapods, tribars, dolosse), or a concrete cap (solid, ribbed). Concrete armor units have varied in size from 2-ton dolosse (waianae) to 50-ton tribars (kahului). The typical cross-section geometry consists of crest elevations of 8 to 15 ft mean lower low water (mllw), crest widths of 8 to 15 ft, or side slopes, and combinations of underlayer and core stone. The structures are typically placed on a firm foundation of coral reef or volcanic materials. Pertinent summary information on each.
