DAMAGE CLASSIFICATION
STONE
INITIAL DAMAGE: no damage value in 1984 SPM...D = 05% displacement by volume or S = 0 - 2 by profiles
INTERMEDIATE DAMAGE: S = 2 - 12
FAILURE: Underlayer exposed through a hole at least Dn50
in diameter, D > 20%, S = 8-20

DAMAGE CLASSIFICATION
CONCRETE ARMOR UNITS
INITIAL DAMAGE: Core-Loc and Accropode D = 0-1%,
Dolosse D=0-2%, All shapes Nod = 0
INTERMEDIATE DAMAGE: Core-Loc and Accropode D = 1-5%
FAILURE:
Core-Loc and Accropode D> 10%,
Cube Nod = 2, Dolosse D > 15%
Tetrapod Nod =1.5, Accropode Nod = 0.5

STABILITY COEFFICIENTS
RIPRAP
Riprap can also be designed using Hudson equation
using the median weight W50, H1/10, and KRR = 2.2 for
breaking waves and KRR = 2.5 for non-breaking waves
(Ahrens 1981b)
Typical stone size distribution 0.125 W50 < W < 4.0 W50
Melby and Kobayashi observed that riprap armor
deteriorates at the same rate as uniform armor for
similar median weights because the larger stones hold
the matrix together

HUDSON EQUATION
FOR BREAKING WAVES
Probably the most extensive data set
Many structure and armor types
Breaking waves means depth-limited waves
KD is lowest stability measurement in lab using
severely breaking regular waves

BACKSIDE STABILITY
JENSEN, 1984
ROUNDHEAD STABILITY
ROUNDHEAD STABILITY
Use equation of Carver and Heimbaugh (1989) for stone
and dolos
Can also use Hudson equation
Increase stability by increasing roundhead diameter
Roundhead slopes are often flatter
Trunk and head units must interlock
Toe detail is very important
Stability Conclusions
Stability of stone breakwaters predicted by
many equations
Use appropriate equation
Use conservative design assumptions because
equations are based on idealized laboratory
conditions
