Abstract:
Breakwaters are widely used to mitigate the adverse impacts of ocean wave action.
Breakwater failures that occurred during late seventies and early eighties, have highlighted the need
for further investigations on breakwaters in terms of their hydraulic performance.
This paper presents the hydraulic performance of conventional rubble mound rock armoured
breakwaters and concrete armoured rubble mound breakwaters, statically stable berm breakwaters
and reshaping berm breakwaters based on the re-analysis of large scale model tests.
