ABSTRACT
Structural and functional aspects of berm breakwaters have been covered in earlier papers by the present authors and with geometrical design rules for berm breakwaters presented at ICCE 2014, this paper mainly focuses on design aspects related to armourstone, armourstone grading, quarrying for armourstone, and construction aspects of berm breakwaters, especially where these aspects differ from conventional rubble mound structures.
