Stability of rock on mild slopes

Until now, an extensive design method for mild slopes has not been available. The aim of this thesis is to understand the stability of rock on mild slopes under wave attack for impermeable cores in order to optimize designs. Physical model tests have been executed to study this stability for a 1:8 slope. Mossinkoff (2019) executed physical model...

Stability of stones on mild slopes

The static stability of stones on mild slopes under wave attack is investigated in this research. The first part of the research is focused on reproducing the physical scale model tests regarding profile change of Kramer (2016) numerically with the model XBeach-G. The erosion profiles modelled with the bed-load transport formulas of Nielsen ...

XBeach-G as a Design Tool for Rock on mild slopes under wave loading.

This study describes the stability of rock on a mild slope (e.g. milder than 1:6) under wave loading. This is done because an increasing number of situations occur where mild foreshores are protected from the wave and currents. The empirical stability formula, designed by VAN DER MEER [1988], is not valid for these kind of slopes. Nonetheless,...
