Effect Of Oblique Incidense On Rubble Mound Breakwaters

Rubble Mound Breakwater stability and wave overtopping research and available literature are mostly for perpendicular incidence of incoming waves. During the design of a harbour although major part of the breakwater may be exposed to perpendicular attack of the design wave, the shore connecting parts usually is under the exposure of oblique wave attack. There is little amount of published information about the effect of oblique incidence on breakwater stability and run-up. This paper describes the results of the regular wave model experiments.
