An Investigation on the Stability of Rubble Mound Breakwaters with Armour Layers of Antifer Cubes

This paper presents the results of hydraulic model tests on the stability of rubble mound breakwaters with armour layers of antifer cubes. The tests were performed using irregular waves. The effect of wave parameters and the structure slope on the stability of these artificial armour units has been investigated and the stability formulae have been derived. Finally a comparison between these formulae and the stability relationships derived by van der Meer (1988) for cubes has been made.
