Abstract

The paper presents a level III reliability method from which the armour layer of rubble mound breakwaters can be designed, so that the total costs of construction price and expected maintaince expenses are minimized. Since the physics of the wave-structure interaction are not yet fully understood the paper puts emphasis on the application of probability theory rather than on hydraulic aspects.
