Wave forces and structure response of placed block revetments on inclined structures

A summary of the theoretical and empirical knowledge of the stability of block-revetment structures under wave attack is given. This has been accomplished by selecting the very essence of the design formulas from (CUR/TAW, 1992/1994) and completing it afterwards with a database of results of large-scale model studies from all over the world....
