Developing time-dependent fragility curves for cube-armored breakwaters: stochastic modeling and experimental quantification

Key Points

• Fragility curves demonstrate the vulnerability of breakwaters to stochastic events, aiding in design improvements.
• Key findings show that time-dependent factors significantly influence the performance metrics of breakwaters.
• Analysis using stochastic modeling and experimental quantification evaluates breakwater resilience against environmental stressors.
• Potential implications suggest that improved fragility curve methodologies could enhance coastal infrastructure resilience.
