Abstract

A new deepwater port development at Punta Langosteira near La Coruña is under design. Shelter is provided by a 2 km long rubble mound breakwater fully exposed to Atlantic waves. Max. water depth is 45 m, crownwall crest level is + 25 m and main armour blocks are 150 t cubes. Moorings for oil tankers are arranged along the inner side of the breakwater. The paper presents the design criteria, the design procedure, the main results from model testing, and the subsequent reliability evaluation and optimisation of the cross section design for the most exposed part of the breakwater. Model test results related to armour stability, overtopping, and wave wall forces are compared to predictions by available formulae.
