Abstract
Puertos del Estado (the State Ports of Spain), the seven Spanish maritime engineering laboratories (Universities of La Coruña and Cantabria, Polytechnic Universities of Valencia, Barcelona and Madrid, and the laboratories CEDEX and INHA) and the University of Granada have been working together on the influence of wave reflection on the stability of rubble-mound breakwaters. With several laboratories working together, it is of great importance to ensure that their results are fully comparable. With this in view, and prior to performing the tests, all factors that could have a bearing on the experimental results were analyzed. This has resulted in a standard methodology for running the tests, which is the object of this paper.
