Abstract
Concrete armor units are commonly employed for the protection of shorelines and rubble structures. Their design is based primarily on hydrodynamic stability. However, several recent breakwater failures indicate that unreinforced concrete armor units are susceptible to structural failure for hydraulically stable wave conditions. The structural stability of 42-ton dolos armor units, both unreinforced and pre-stressed and subject to wave-induced pulsating loads, are examined in this paper.
