Find the armor size for preliminary design using the Hudson formula, for a rubble mound detached breakwater. The structure is in around 6 m water depth with a crest 2 m. The side slopes are set to 1V:2H. The breakwater length is 170 m. The design parameters are as follows: Crest level = 2 m; Seabed level = −6 m; Water level = 1 m Design significant wave height (non-breaking) Hs = (3,7) m Rock density = (2,64) t/m3, Stability coefficient = 2,8

Question

 Find the armor size for preliminary design using the Hudson formula, for a rubble mound detached breakwater. The structure is in around 6 m water depth with a crest 2 m. The side slopes are set to 1V:2H. The breakwater length is 170 m.

The design parameters are as follows:

  • Crest level = 2 m; Seabed level = −6 m; Water level = 1 m
  • Design significant wave height (non-breaking) Hs = (3,7) m
  • Rock density = (2,64) t/m3, Stability coefficient = 2,8
