Abstract

The problem of how various parameters of sea and soil affect the hydraulic and geotechnical aspects of breakwaters and the way these parameters must be controlled stably despite of undesired environmental factors is a challenging task in Hydraulics Engineering. The most popular solution for this problem is based on forming an information table whose entities have been extracted from empirical experiments and then try to find the relations between the affecting parameters and affected elements. In this paper, a new expert method based on the notions of Rough Sets Theory (RST) has been developed to solve this problem. Also, this development method has been applied to the problem of clustering the hydraulic-geotechnical control parameters of a real rubble mound breakwater and then the results and advantages of this approach have been explained and discussed.
