In history PIANC has paid quite some attentions to breakwaters, in ancient years results of practical experience have been published in the country presentations at the Conferences, but later some of these papers started to have a more scientific basis. One of the first papers giving a good background on the processes of stability of breakwaters was published on the conference in Rome by IRIBARREN CAVANILLES AND NOGALES [1953]. As usual in those days, the paper does not have a title, but in fact it deals with the stability calculation of armour units. Later more detailed work was published in separate reports, like the "Final report of the International Commission on the study of Waves" in 1976.
