Stability of Dolos Overlays for Rehabilitation of Tribar-Armored Rubble-Mound Breakwater and Jetty Trunks Subjected to Breaking Waves

Abstract

An experimental model investigation was conducted to obtain design guidance for doles overlays used to rehabilitate tribar-armored rubble-mound breakwater and jetty trunks subject to breaking waves. It was concluded that: a. The stability coefficient is independent of sea-side structure slope for slopes of IV on 1.5H and lV on 2H. b. Stability showed some dependency on both d/L and H/d with minimum stability occurring at the lower values of d/L and higher values of H/d, i.e. longer wave periods in shallower water. c. The minimum stability coefficient observed significantly exceeds that obtained for new construction.
