Martin, F.L. (author)This paper has two main objectives: (1) to describe the experimental work carried out in order to verify the theoretical method from Martin (1995) for the calculation of wave forces on crown walls and (2) to show some results from field and lab measurements and compare these data to calculations from several analytical methods. The Principe de...report 1999

Turk, G.F. (author), Melby, J.A. (author)The Core-Loc, invented and developed at the Waterways Experiment Station (WES), is a new-generation, optimized breakwater concrete armor unit for protecting shoreline and navigation structures.Because of the very difficult construction, in-service, and repair conditions associated with high-energy wave environments, a need was identified to...report 1997

D' Angremond, K. (author), Van der Meer, J.W. (author), Van Nes, C.P. (author)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...report 1995

Burcharth, H.F. (author), Liu, Z. (author), Jenssen, M.S. (author), Van der Meer, J.W. (author), D' Angremond, K. (author)The paper presents a design formula for Tetrapod armour on a 1:1.5 slope exposed to head-on random wave attack The formula predicts the relative number of broken Tetrapods as function of: the mass of the Tetrapods, the concrete tensile strength and the wave height in front of the structure. Thus, the formula addresses the observed problem of...report 1995

Burcharth, H.F. (author)The slender, complex types of armour units, such as Tetrapods and Dolosse are widely used for rubble mound breakwaters. Many of the recent failures of such structures were caused by unforeseen early breakage of the units, thus revealing an inbalance between the strength (structural integrity) of the units and the hydraulic stability (resistance...report 1995

Burcharth, H.F. (author), Liu, Z. (author)The rational design diagram for Dolos armour should incorporate both the hydraulic stability and the structural integrity. The previous tests performed by Aalborg University made available such design diagram for the trunk of Dolos breakwater without superstructures (Burcharth et al 1992). To extend the design diagram to cover Dolos breakwaters...report 1994

Van Gent, M.R.A. (author)The wave motion on-and-in Berm breakwaters as well as the reshaping process have been studied. Measurements were carried out to study wave interaction with a reshaped Berm breakwater. These tests were used for verification of a numerical model capable of simulating both the wave motion on as well as inside the structure. This numerical model has...report 1993

Van Gent, M.R.A. (author)Measurements in a U-tube tunnel were carried out to study flow through coarse granular material. Tests with stationary flow and tests with oscillatory flow were done to study the differences between both. The coefficients from the extended Forchheimer equation, which is supposed to describe non-stationary porous flow, were determined. It...report 1993

Van Gent, M.R.A. (author)This manual gives information about how to use the P.C.-model ODIFLOCS. The wave action on and in several types of coastal structures can be computed. The necessary input data and the output data have been described. Although many phenomena are implemented in the model, which resulted in rather accurate predictions of several properties, further...report 1992

Van der Meer, J.W. (author)This paper gives first an overall view of physical processes involved with rubble mound structures and a classification of these structures. After the description of governing parameters, the hydraulic response is treated. This is divided into: - Wave run-up and run-down, - Wave overtopping, - Wave transmission, - Wave reflection. The main part...report 1992

Franco, L. (author)Italy is often considered as a mother country of vertical breakwaters for harbour protection, since they have been widely used all along our coasts long since. An updated location map is given in fig. 1, which also shows the position of the directional wave recording stations of the existing Italian network. The most common vertical breakwaters...report 1992

Goda, Y. (author)The historical development of upright breakwaters in Japan is briefly reviewed as an introduction. Various wave pressure formulas for vertical walls are discussed, and then the design formulas currently employed in Japan are presented with an example of calculation. Several design factors are also discussed.report 1992

Liberatore, G. (author)Detached (or "offshore") breakwaters of emerging type are a common and effective approach for beach protection, particularly for areas with small tidal oscillations. This kind of breakwaters aims at acting on sediment transport by decreasing the transport capacity of long-shore currents, thus locally causing settlement of sediments. Unlike...report 1992
