Wave Stability Tests of Dolos and Stone Rehabilitation Designs for the East Breakwater, Cleveland Harbor, Ohio
An experimental model investigation was conducted using a two-dimensional stability model at an undisturbed linear scale of 1:28.5 (model to prototype). The purposes of the stability tests were as follows: (1) Evaluate the stability of the proposed 4-ton dolos trunk section (Plan 1) when exposed to design wave and still-water level (swl) conditions; (2) Determine the degree of breakwater damage that could occur in Plan 1 for a storm condition that exceeds the design condition; (3) Determine the maximum nonbreaking wave heights for which the existing 2-ton dolos design (Plan 2) and the proposed 4-ton dolos and 9- to 20-ton armor stone designs (Plan 3) could be considered to be adequately designed. Test results indicated that Plan 1 was only marginally acceptable and and would most likely require significant amounts of maintenance if exposed to design level wave conditions (7.0- to 9.0-sec, 13.4-ft nonbreaking waves at an swl of +4.9 ft low water datum (lwd)). Keywords; Armor stone, Dolosse.
