Abstract

Wave breaking forces on a crown wall will be determined from Burcharth 's wave force formula. Based on these formulae a deterministic design is found. A reliability evaluation of the same structure is then performed using a level II FORM analysis. In this only the failure modes sliding1 overturning and rupture failure in the rubble mound are taken into account. The method of probabilistic foundation stability analysis is presented by the example of a translation slip failure involving kinematically correct slip surfaces and failure zones in friction based soil. A conventional static quasi-static analysis is used.
