Hydraulic Response of Rubble Mound Breakwaters: Scale Effects - Berm Breakwaters

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...

Reshaping breakwater tests, additional tests

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: .. D24 – Part A: Effect of obliqueness, short...
