Risk criteria in design stability of sloping structure in relation to the Iribarren number

Existing design formulas for rubble-mound breakwaters under wave attack contain the wave height, H, and the slope angle, cc, as parameters of the wave characteristics (for d/H > 3.0, d being the water depth in front or the structure) and structure characteristics (incl. permeability, roughness, interlocking-, etc.) excluding the effect of wave...

Hydraulic design of rock riprap

This paper summarizes a study of open channel flow conditions affecting riprap design and suggests a design procedure based on hydraulic principles rather than on rule-of-thumb formulas. Riprap design is idealized by study of the stability of a cubical element. Field and laboratory investigations required for the development of firm design...
