Book excerpt: There are some empirical formulas used in the design of rubble mound breakwaters to find the weight of armour layer stone. The effect of wave grouping and spectral shape could not put into these design formulas since their effects are still under question. The influences of wave groups and spectral shape on the stability of rubble mound breakwaters have been investigated by several researchers up to now. However, results were not conclusive in these researches, where different wave grouping and spectral shape parameters were used. This study aims to investigate the influences of wave groups and spectral shape on the stability of rubble mound breakwaters by means of hydraulic model experiments. According to the result of the experiments, the damage to breakwater armour layer is almost same for different spectrum shapes and pronounced wave grouping, under the condition of similar wave statistics. Experiments also indicated that the wave trains with same significant wave height, H1/3, but with different distribution of the heights of extreme waves which were defined as wave heights higher than H1/3 in this study, cause different damage levels. Based on these results, extended experiments were conducted to observe the effect of heights of extreme waves in a wave train on the stability of rubble mound breakwaters. Results of the experiments showed that the higher the extreme waves are, the more destructive the wave train is. By carrying experimental results into design conditions, it was shown that a wave train with high extreme waves may affect the design weight of armour stone. Finally, in order to achieve more practical tools for engineering applications, occurrence probabilities of extreme waves under different spectral shapes were obtained by a numerical simulation. As a result, for different occurrence probabilities of extreme waves under the most widely used spectrums of PM and JONSWAP, necessary weight of armour stone was given in a range comparing with the formu.

Book excerpt: The purpose of the investigation herein was to obtain design information for stone and dolos armor used on breakwater heads and subjected to nonbreaking waves. More specifically, it was desired to determine the minimum weight of individual armor units (with given specific weights) required for stability as a function of (a) Type of armor unit; (b) Sea-side slope of the structure; (c) Angle of wave attack; (d) Wave period; (e) Wave height; Based on tests and results described herein, in which stone and dolos armor are used on conical breakwater heads and subjected to nonbreaking waves with angles of wave attack of 0, 45, 90, and 135 deg, it is concluded that: (a) The longer wave periods (2.00 and 2.75 sec) generally produce the lower stabilities; (b) Angles of wave attack of 45 and 90 deg are the most critical; (c) Flattening the slope from 1V on 1.5H to 1V on 2H does not improve stability of the stone armor.

Book excerpt: Hydraulic model tests were conducted to determine the stability response of stone-armored breakwaters for a selected range of first underlayer weights. It was concluded that for the range of test conditions considered: (a) variations in first-underlayer stone weights (w sub 1) from (w sub r)/5 to (w sub r/20 do not have a significant effect on armor stability; (b) armor stability will not be significantly influenced by relative depth (d/L) or wave steepness (H/L); and (c) wave runup and rundown are not significantly affected by variation in first-underlayer stone weights (w sub 1) in the range (w sub r)/20
