Abstract
Rubble mound breakwaters are structures with both random loading and random boundary conditions, such that a single set of stress measurements cannot characterize the loading. This paper presents a method to determine a design stress for wave induced loads based on the design wave height, a designer specified exceedance probability, and a site specific parameter, ks, which can be empirically determined from physical model measurements. The methodology was developed from analysis of many field measurements of wave loads on 38-tonne dolosse armor units at Crescent City, California.
