Rear-Slope Revetment Stability Approached by the Wave Overtopping Simulator: Experiments Regarding the Stability of Single-Layer Cube Revetment on Breakwater Crests and Rear Slopes

Contrary to a breakwater outer slope, rear-slope revetment does not have to withstand breaking waves. However, generally, an equal dimensioned revetment is used on both the inner- and outer slope. Although with low-crested breakwaters severe overtopping occurs, the application of similarly sized armour on both sides still results in an over...

Stability of Single Layer Cubes on Breakwater Rear Slopes

Breakwaters with single layer concrete armour are very commonly applied nowadays. Much research is available on the stability of single layer armour units on the seaward slope. However, rear slopes design methods for single layer armour units are rare. On rear side slopes usually similar sized units as on the seaward slope are applied. Limited...
