Note that Z = 8 feet is less than 13.6 feet (upper limit for rigid- 

 pile analysis). Therefore, use 1 = 8 feet and add e = 2 feet to 

 obtain the total pile length l^ = 10 feet. If scour is expected, 

 the pile should be driven to the design depth below the maximum pre- 

 dicted scour elevation. 



VI . SUMMARY 



Methods for determining the transmitted wave height and required 

 anchor holding capacity for a floating tire breakwater using the proposed 

 Goodyear FTB module design were presented. Application of these methods 

 is intended to give conservative results. 



The discussion on various types of anchors was included to provide 

 general guidance on anchor types as well as references for further infor- 

 mation on anchor design. 



As a practical guide for the design of an FTB mooring system, an 

 assumed harbor of refuge breakwater is considered as a design example.
