Dynamic Actions on Breakwaters

(Rubble-Mound and Caisson/Composite Type Breakwaters)

Jensen, O. J.

Abstract All over the world a considerable amount of research has been conducted in recent years within the field of rubble-mound breakwaters due to the many and costly applications of rubble mound breakwaters and the considerable number of failures and severe damage. In spite of this research, though, due to the complexity of the problem, there still seems to be a long way ahead to obtain a more complete understanding of the physics of wave action on rubble structures. At present, it is felt, that perhaps the most important obstacle to progress in the development of the theoretical understanding is the lack of a reliable physical and mathematical description of breaking waves on a slope.
