Abstract
Breakage of slender unreinforced armour unite is the cause of many breakwater failures. Design diagrams to ensure structural integrity of armour unite such as dolosse and tetrapods have not been available. The article presents results of an analysis of the stresses in dolosse based on model tests with load-cell instrumented dolosse with masses of 200 kg and 200 g. A preliminary design diagram is presented as well.
