[ES] El diseño de estructuras de protección de costera de baja cota de coronación (LCS) ha sido estudiado previamente en el proyecto DELOS (2003-2005). Los LCS construidos hasta el momento están formados por núcleos de ...
[EN] Armor erosion due to wave attack has been studied intensively since it is considered the main failure mode of mound breakwaters. Cube-armored mound breakwaters in depth-limited breaking wave conditions are common in ...

[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 ...
[EN] Mound breakwaters with significant overtopping rates in depth-limited conditions are common in practice due to social concern about the visual impact of coastal structures and sea level rise due to climatic change. ...
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, ...
