Download or read book Wave Period Effect on the Stability of Riprap written by John P. Ahrens and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Test data on the stability of dumped quarry stone riprap to wave attack is presented and analyzed. The tests were conducted in the large two-dimensional wave tank at the Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) at near prototype scale. The test data show riprap stability changes with wave period with the lowest stability occurring at a period that creates a collapsing breaker. Methods to predict riprap stability and wave runup on riprap are developed and discussed. (Author).
