Risk criteria in design stability of sloping structure in relation to the Iribarren number

Existing design formulas for rubble-mound breakwaters under wave attack contain the wave height, H, and the slope angle, cc, as parameters of the wave characteristics (for d/H > 3.0, d being the water depth in front or the structure) and structure characteristics (incl. permeability, roughness, interlocking-, etc.) excluding the effect of wave...
