Failure modes for revetments and dunes

The present report describes the research done within the framework of Activity 1.2 of Task 4 of the European Union FLOODsite project. It contains an inventory of the failure modes, predictive equations and related uncertainties for revetments and dunes, based work already undertaken in The Netherlands, including limit state equations and...

Rubble mound breakwater failure modes

The RMBFM-Project (Rubble Mound Breakwater Failure Modes) is sponsored by the Directorate General XII of the Commission of the European Communities under the Contract MAS-CT92- 0042, with the objective of contributing to the development of rational methods for the design of rubble mound breakwaters. 11 institutes from the European Union...

Stresses in tetrapod armour units introduced by wave action

in this study an analysis concerning the pulsating and impact portion of the tensile stresses inside tetrapod armour units is presented. The data has been obtained from a series of small scale model tests performed at Delft Hydraulics. Stresses have been measured using a load cell technique developed and made available by Coastal Engineering...
