Abstract
Work on scour around breakwaters (both vertical-wall breakwaters
and rubble-mound breakwaters) has been described. Both 2-D scour
at the trunk section of a breakwater, and 3-D scour at the head
have been considered. Mechanisms responsible for the scour
processes have been recapitulated, and counter measures against
scour have been discussed. Design diagrams and formulae have been
provided.
