Abstract

The coastal team of Delta Marine Consultants [DMC] have taken the initiative to develop a new concrete armour unit for application on breakwaters and shore protections. Following the preliminary model tests conducted at DMC, 2-D hydraulic model tests have been carried out at Delft Hydraulics in October 2002. The experimental set-up and test procedure as well as the main results are briefly reported by Delft Hydraulics [report H4185, Jan 2003]. A comprehensive description of the 2-D hydraulic model tests, test results and further analysis on wave overtopping and hydraulic stability is presented in this report.
