Reliability of Construted Rubble Breakwater Armours

The problem of armour stability of constructed breakwaters is significant in port engineering practice, mostly connected with new construction. However, the problem can be found in older non-maintained breakwaters. The presented valuation of stability of armour includes profile geometry tolerance, armour blocks grading, porosity and degree of interlocking. Methodology and application procedure are represented in an example of the breakwater near Split in Croatia. The article also analyses the reliability of the construction for which was found that it has a lower level of stability. In this analysis project wave climate and state of the construction are considered.
