Stability of Single-Layer Cubes on Lee-Side of Breakwaters: Quantative Research on the Stability of a Single Cubic Armour Layer on the Lee-Side of Breakwaters using a Wave Overtopping Simulator

Breakwaters are hydraulic structures used to create calm and steady environments for moored ships in harbors. They dampen the wave by dissipating the energy through wave breaking. Most studies of breakwaters have only been carried out on the seaward slope of the structure. However, few have conducted research on the landward-, inner-, slope of...

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...
