Abstract :
The world´s deepest breakwater is now under construction at the mouth of Kamaishi Bay in northeastern Japan, to lessen tsunami´s run-up height as well as wind waves and swells. This 1960 m long and 63 m deep composite breakwater is a monumental achievement of Japanese marine construction technology in the last one hundred years. This report summarises key technologies relating to planning, design and construction of this breakwater
