Berm Breakwaters: Influence of Permeability and Stone Gradation

The influence of permeability and stone gradation on the reshaping and wave overtopping of berm breakwaters was studied by flume model tests. Another aspect studied was the difference in reshaping comparing a berm breakwater constructed of two stone classes and a more stable Icelandic type of berm breakwater with the largest berm stones used as...

Influence of permeability and stone gradation on Berm Breakwater stability

The influence of permeability and stone gradation on the reshaping and wave overtopping of berm breakwaters was studied as part of this research. Another aspect studied was the difference in reshaping comparing a berm breakwater constructed of two stone classes and a more stable Icelandic type of berm breakwater built of three stone classes with...
