Reshaping breakwater tests, additional tests

Tests have been performed with low steepness and reshaping breakwaters at Ghent University and Aalborg University respectively. The reshaping breakwater is a type of breakwater where the information on overtopping is very limited. The additional tests are described in the following four reports: .. D24 – Part A: Effect of obliqueness, short...

Application of laboratory tests in harbour design works

It is described why, and to what extent the practicing engineer makes use of model tests in his design of rubble mound breakwaters. Furthermore an example is shown from practice illustrating the application of models for investigation of wave penetration into harbours. Especially the way in which model tests can confirm and supplement...

Stability tests of the Europoort breakwater

This paper deals with model tests conducted at the Delft Hydraulics Laboratory (DHL) and the River and Harbour Laboratory at the Technical University of Norway (RHL) for the design of the Europoort Breakwater. A series of tests with regular waves was conducted at the DHL from which the design of the breakwater was decided. The chosen design was...
