Design of rubble mound breakwaters

This rapport includes two main topics for designing a rubble mound breakwater: 1. Geometrical properties and durability of rock materials 2. Structural integrity of concrete armour units Included in this rapport are some design diagrams for Dolos of different waist ratios.

Laboratory investigations of rubble-mound breakwaters

This paper reports on a laboratory investigation conducted at the United States Army Engineer Waterways experiment station, Vickburg, Mississippi, to determine criteria for the design and construction of rubble mound breakwaters. Small-scale breakwater sections are hand-constructed in a concrete wave flume 119 ft long, 5ft wide, 4 ft deep, and...
