Salauddin, M. (author)In the design of rubble mound breakwaters, nowadays single layer systems using concrete armour units have become more common practice compared to conventional two layer systems. However, after the introduction of the accropode in eighties, a small number of single layer armour units have been developed over the years; for example core-loc, A...report 2015

Bonfantini, F. (author)The Crablock is a symmetrical unit, this in contrast to the units that have been applied most in the past. Essentially, this is the main difference. All other units have six obstacles that insure interlocking, but they are not symmetrical. All those units are placed randomly in a certain way with more or less contacts to neighbouring units. A...report 2014

Lykke Andersen, T. (author)An introduction to the principles and fundamentals of designing rubble mound breakwaters, led to the definition of two important white spots in designing rubble mound breakwaters. These were selected for further investigations in the present thesis. 1. Design of berm breakwaters: A generally lack of data and design formulae was identifed, but...report 2006

Kuiper, C. (author), Van Gent, M.R.A. (author)De Bouwdienst van Rijkswaterstaat heeft WL Delft Hydraulics opdracht gegeven voor het uitvoeren van 2D fysisch modelonderzoek ten behoeve van een mogelijke renovatie van de havendammen van IJmuiden. Het betreft enerzijds modelonderzoek om meer inzicht te verkrijgen in mogelijk optredende schademechanismen bij de huidige constructie (Proevenserie...report 2006

Kuipe, C. (author), Klein Breteler, M. (author), Booster, L.N. (author), Eysink, W. (author)In Zeeland zijn er vele havendammen die de primaire waterkering plaatselijk beschermen tegen grote golfaanval. Zelfs onder maatgevende omstandigheden zijn vele van deze dammen nog hoog genoeg om een belangrijke reducerende werking te hebben op de inkomende golven. Uiteraard kan de invloed van de golfreducerende werking van havendammen alleen in...report 2006

Lykke Andersen, T. (author), Burcharth, H.F. (author)Tests have been performed with low steepness and reshaping breakwaters at Ghent University and Aalborg University respectively. The reshaping breakwater is a type of breakwater where the information on overtopping is very limited. The additional tests are described in the following four reports: ..

Tirindelli, M. (author), Lamberti, A. (author)The present report, produced within the framework of the EU funded project DELOS, attempts to recognise and analyse main scale effects in the physical modeHing of rubble mound breakwaters used in offshore and coastal engineering. Scale effects appear in physical modeHing because the ratios between the farces of interest, as present in prototype,...report 2004

Anonymus, A. (author)The coastal team of Delta Marine Consultants [DMC] have taken the initiative to develop a new concrete armour unit for application on breakwaters and shore protections. Following the preliminary model tests conducted at DMC, 2-D hydraulic model tests have been carried out at Delft Hydraulics in October 2002. The experimental set-up and test...report 2003

Takahashi, S. (author)In this book, different types of breakwaters are introduced and their historical development is described in order to understand the advantages and disadvantages associated with each type of breakwater. The failures of breakwaters are then discussed to demonstrate crucial points in their stability design. Finally, the design methods used for...report 2002

Smith, G.M. (author)The Am Waj Islands Project involves the development of a new island off the north coast of Muharraq Island in Bahrain (see Figure 1). To protect this new island from wave attack, a scheme of submerged breakwaters has been planned, which should also function as the anchor for a sandy beach, preventing the sand from being washed out into the sea....report 2002
