A more detailed understanding of porous flow inside a rubble-mound structure may have potential benefits in breakwater design. Numerical models are expected to be a useful additional research tool in this field, provided that their calculation results can be validated against measurements. This paper presents the results of a systematic effort...

In order to avoid failure in its lifetime, a breakwater system has to be inspected and, if necessary, has to be repaired. In this paper, a comprehensive maintenance strategy with optimal inspection planning is formulated. Rational maintenance decision-making approaches are discussed. The proposed maintenance strategy combines time-dependent and...

This paper presents a comprehensive maintenance strategy with optimal inspection planning and its application to rubble mound breakwaters. In order to fulfil designated functions, a breakwater has to be inspected during its lifetime and has to be repaired if necessary. Actions of inspecting and repairing form a maintenance strategy. In the paper...

An appropriate assignment of probabilities of failure to subsystems and components in a structural system can bring a minimum of costs and risk. In this paper, a method for economic optimisation of rubble mound breakwaters using pre-assigned probabilities of failure is presented. Application to a design case shows that the proposed method is...

This paper gives an overview of some recent developments in structures for coastal protection. Single layer units like Accropode and Xbloc are rather popular at this moment; research indicates that also cubes can be placed in single layers. Also the use of heavy aggregates in concrete can be beneficial for the stability and economics. Structures...

Medium height breakwaters are subjected to a considerable amount of overtopping. This implies the armour on the inner slope has to stable against overtopping waves. Existing equations do lack some basic understanding of the process of starting up movement of rock on the inner slopes. In order to get more insight into this phenomenon a special...

Studies on the stability of the amour layer (d’Angremond et. al. [1999] revealed the importance of density of placement. The current research focuses on the influence of the density of placement on the stability of cubes in a double armour layer and tetrapods and rocks in a single armour layer. The experiments were performed in the Laboratory of...

Recent research has shown that it is possible to use concrete cubes as a single armour layer on breakwaters. However, this is only possible in case a placing density of at least 70 % is achieved. In lab-tests it is no problem to place cubes with this density, however it is questionable if such a placing density can be achieved in prototype...

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...

One of the major problems in the design of coastal structures is that the design has to be based on very uncertain input data. This implies that the degree of uncertainty is an important value for the designer. In traditional design the uncertainty is not really quantified, but an overall “safety factor” is included. The problem of this approach...

The wave motion on-and-in Berm breakwaters as well as the reshaping process have been studied. Measurements were carried out to study wave interaction with a reshaped Berm breakwater. These tests were used for verification of a numerical model capable of simulating both the wave motion on as well as inside the structure. This numerical model has...

Measurements in a U-tube tunnel were carried out to study flow through coarse granular material. Tests with stationary flow and tests with oscillatory flow were done to study the differences between both. The coefficients from the extended Forchheimer equation, which is supposed to describe non-stationary porous flow, were determined. It...

This manual gives information about how to use the P.C.-model ODIFLOCS. The wave action on and in several types of coastal structures can be computed. The necessary input data and the output data have been described. Although many phenomena are implemented in the model, which resulted in rather accurate predictions of several properties, further...

In the MAST-G6-S program numerical models will be developed for the description of wave motion on and in coastal structures. The most accurate one will probably be the SKYLLA model. That model uses the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. For a description, see Broekens and Petit (1991). After it has been developed for structures with an...

For the description of porous flow the Forchheimer equation is normally used. Several formulae have been proposed for the coefficients Cl and c2 from this equation. All these formulae are based on experiments. Those coefficients represent the friction and resistance caused by the porous medium. The Forchheimer equation is a somewhat semi...
