Open filters in breakwaters with a sand core: Study into the stability of granular geometrically open, hydraulically sand-open filters in breakwaters with a sand core

Thesis study into an alternative design for breakwaters made of granular materials like sand and quarry stone. In this design, the breakwater is constructed of a sand core and a layer of large stones directly on top of it, without the traditional filter layers in-between. The single layer of stones serves as one open filter layer that has to...
