Abstract

The stability of armor units for submerged breakwaters is investigated by two dimensional model experiments with irregular waves. According to test results, stability factor of armor units is newly formulated as a function of relative crown depth of submerged breakwaters to the incident wave height. The effect of the specific weight of armor units is also studied with varying specific weights and structural conditions. For specific weights ranging from 2.65 to 3.22, the test results proved that the stability factor of armor units can be calculated by the proposed method.
