[EN] When mound breakwaters are placed on steep sea bottoms in combination with very shallow waters, the design of the toe berm becomes a relevant issue. Toe berms built close to the water surface on a steep sea bottom ...

[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 ...
