Toe stability of rubble-mound breakwaters

This Master Thesis contains a study on the stability of the toe structure of rubble-mound breakwaters based on small scale model tests performed in the large wave flume of the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of Delft University of Technology. In this report the study of Gerding (1993) on the stability of toe...

Toe structure stability of rubble mound breakwaters

In this report an analysis of data from a series of tests is presented on the stability of the toe structure of rubble mound breakwaters. The existing knowledge on toe stability and the influence of all governing parameters in the existing knowledge is reviewed. The tests which were performed for the present research are treated extensively. The...
