Abstract

This extended abstract contains two topics: stability of a pitched rock slope (in contrast to randomly placed rock) and mitigation of excessive wave overtopping at an existing rock slope. The stability of a single pitched rock layer could reasonably well be predicted by the Van der Meer formula. The criteria for start of damage and failure, however, become much stricter for a single armour layer. The commonly used EurOtop-equations for wave overtopping were used to fit influence factors for a vertical wall, with and without bullnose, and for a wave return wall. A vertical wall will increase the crest level, where the wave return wall replaces a part of the crest of the rock structure and has the same crest level as the original structure. Test conditions were focused on steep waves (high wave steepness) only, as this is the actual design situation for Singapore structures facing the sea directly.
