[EN] Armor layers of mound breakwaters are usually designed with empirical formulas based on small-scale tests in non-breaking wave conditions. However, most rubble mound breakwaters are constructed in the depth-induced ...
Herrera Gamboa, María Piedad(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2017-06-08)
The design of rubble mound breakwaters usually focuses on the main armor layer. A review of the existing literature reveals that different equations are used to design rock armors in non-breaking wave conditions. However, ...
