An empirical method for design of detached breakwater projects is discussed, and several example problems are presented. The method was developed by the Japanese Ministry of Construction (JMC) based on a survey of over 1,500 projects constructed from 1983 through 1985. Design of detached breakwater systems using the JMC method tends to result in more numerous, shorter length segments positioned closer to the shore than observed in US projects. However, the JMC method may complement other design methods, perhaps also providing suggestions for future research and monitoring of existing projects.
