Seaward profile for rubble mound breakwaters
Laboratory study of shallow-water wave action on rubble breakwaters at Auburn University is described; study is devoted to shallow-water waves of two types, steep, smooth waves and spilling breakers, acting, with normal incidence, upon breakwaters constructed of various materials and having initial seaward slope of 1 on 1 1/2; it was found that conventional trapezoidal section results in relatively severe wave action coupled with strong tendency toward movement of material on seaward face and that, after breakwater material had been moved to form stable section, wave action was much less severe.
