Coastal Model Investigation: Stability Test of Modified Repair Options for San Pedro Breakwater, Los Angeles, California.

Abstract

An undistorted scale hydraulic model study was conducted to investigate the stability response of modified repair options for the San Pedro Breakwater. A plan which employs 13- to 20-ton armor stone was developed. This plan proved to be more stable than the original breakwater section for both 45- and 90-deg wave attack. (Author)
