De Rover, R. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Van den Berge, A. (author), Reedijk, B. (author)The effect of single layer interlocking armour unit breakage on the hydraulic armour layer stability and potential damage progression is addressed in this paper. A 2-dimensional scale model of a rubble mound breakwater with an armour layer consisting of Xbloc armour units was tested. The residual armour layer stability with broken units was...conference paper 2008

Verhagen, H.J. (author), D' Angremond, K. (author), Van der Vliet, K. (author)Recent research has shown that it is possible to use concrete cubes as a single armour layer on breakwaters. However, this is only possible in case a placing density of at least 70 % is achieved. In lab-tests it is no problem to place cubes with this density, however it is questionable if such a placing density can be achieved in prototype...conference paper 2002
