Abstract
This study discusses the evaluation method of target safety level of composite breakwaters and breakwaters covered with wave dissipating concrete blocks in view of minimum life cycle cost. Authors evaluated target safety levels of breakwaters under various conditions on waves and disaster loss costs. As the results, it was found that effect of disaster loss cost is smaller than that of wave conditions on target safety level. Target safety level was found to be strongly dependent on wave breaking conditions.
