Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 2006-01-01 Abstract Experience has shown that stability parameters for breakwater armour are different for steep and shallow foreshores, as well as for deep and shallow water. A change from a deep water spectral information (Tm0) to shallow water spectral information (Tm-1,0) does not completely explains this difference. Tests have shown that stability also depends on parameters not described by the spectrum at the toe of the breakwater. It is suggested that these parameters include for example the skewness of the waves.
