Abstract

The stability of the armor layer of rubble mound breakwaters has been shown to be highly influenced by some wave grouping characteristics. The measured damage functions are dependent on the Envelope Exceedance Coefficient, a, and also on the Groupiness Factor defined as: GF = ff[H2(t)]/8mo.
