1 OVERTOPPING FOR RUBBLE MOUND BREAKWATER ARMOURED WITH THE NEW BLOCK RAKUNAIV Le Thi Huong Giang 1, Thieu Quang Tuan 2, Pha Van Trung 3 1,3 Lecturer at Hydraulic Engineering, Vietna Maritie university Address, Haiphong, Vietna 2 Lecturer at Marine and coastal faculty, Water Resources University Address, Hanoi, 048, Vietna 1 huonggiang762001@yahoo.co, 2 tuant.q@wru.edu.vn Abstract The paper presents the physic odel test results on wave flue about the ability of overtopping reduction of new aour unitrakuna IV through roughness factor γr. The results fro 58 tests for Rakuna IV and Tetrapod showed that the wave overtopping reduction factor of this arour unit is not a constant but depends upon the breaker index1,0. Keywords: Rubble ound breakwater; overtopping; roughness factor and aour unit. I. INTRODUCTION Run up, overtopping causing erosion and sliding the landward slope is one of the ain reasons that daage and unstabilize protective structure. So, wave overtopping is inevitable loading in the design of coastal structures especially in the present context of global cliate change and sea level rise. In practice, due to financial constraint breakwaters in Vietna are often constructed so that a oderate aount of wave overtopping can be allowed to pass the crest during design conditions. In the literature, perissible ean overtopping rates are of iportance in diensioning breakwaters, viz. crest height, slope protection at the harbour side (see e.g. EurOtop2007). A higher allowable wave overtopping rate eans a lower breakwater. Also, the size of blocks on the seaward slope can soewhat be reduced. The harbourside slope, however, ust be appropriately protected against attack of wave overtopping. Therefore, studying and applying the wave overtopping reduction units that is suitable with typhoongenerated wave condition in Vietna is totally necessary. II. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND In the literature, though there exist any forulae for the ean wave overtopping rate at sloping structures, it is not the purpose of this work to evaluate these forulae. Rather, we focus on the capability of overtopping reduction of the considered units reflecting through the roughness factor r. To this end, the TAW2002 forulation for nonbreaking waves ( 1,0 2.0) is used herein (see also EurOtop, 2007): q R 1 c Q* 0.20.exp 2.6 (1) 3 gh H0 r 0 in which r is the wave overtopping reduction factor by unit roughness or roughness factor for short. It is noted that for sooth slopes r = 1.0 by definition. However, reference tests of nonbreaking waves on a 1/1.5 and sooth slope by Bruce et al. (2009) indicate that TAW 2002 or Eq. (1) underestiated the ean discharges by 5%. This eans r = 1.05 should be used in Eq. (1) as the reference of no roughness reduction, retaining the values of all other coefficients. As a consequence, the roughness factor of a rough arour slope ust be adjusted accordingly. In general, this reduction factor of an arour type coplexly depends upon arour roughness (shape) as well as arour porosity. These two influences are hard to decouple fro each other in physical odel experients (see Bruce et al., 2009). Hence, this iplies that the reduction factor r resulting fro the experients in this study includes all of these effects. It is generally accepted that the reduction factor r used in runup forulations can interchangeably be used for wave overtopping prediction. Moreover, though wave runup is no longer used for breakwater design, the way r behaves in wave runup can also be relevant to wave overtopping. One iportant character observed in wave runrup of nonbreaking waves ( 1,0 1.80) is that of the roughness factor is not a constant but linearly increases with the breaker index 1,0 as shown below (see also EurOtop, 2007): ( 1,0 1.8)(1 r) r, surging r 1.8 1, r, surging 1,0 where r,surging is the roughness factor used in calculation runup of surging (nonbreaking) waves. In other words, long waves (large 1,0) feel lesser roughness on a given slope and a given surging wave feels saller roughness on steeper slopes. This can physically be explained that if the slope becoes very steep and the core is ipereable, the wave slowly surges up and down the slope and all the water stays within the arour layer. Because of this water buffer, the surging wave does not feel uch of the slope roughness and behaves like a wave on a sooth slope, leading to a higher wave runup (see also EurOtop, 2007). There have been nuerous studies on the reduction factor r for wave overtopping of various block types. The ost recentlypublished values of the factor for coon arour systes can be found in EurOtop2007. Soe of these are the result fro CLASH project, whose one of the ain objectives aied at iproving the capability of predicting wave overtopping at coastal structures (see e.g. Steenda et al., 2004).

2 III. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP AND PROCEDURE active reflection copensation (AUKEPC/ARC, A. General layout and odel crosssection DELTARES) and capable of generating both regular and The 2D experients were carried out in the wave flue irregular waves up to 30c in height and 3.0s in peak at the hydraulic laboratory of Water Resource University period. The general experiental layout is illustrated in Fig. (Hanoi, Vietna). The flue is 45 long, 1.0 wide and high, equipped with an advanced autoated syste of Figure 1 Experiental layout The odel breakwater rested on a 1/100 sloping foreshore. Due to a low foreshore (only 0.10 thick) and relatively high water depths chosen, the foreshore did not cause any breaking waves in front of the breakwater and the experiental result was free fro the foreshore effect. An array of 03 wave gauges (capacitance type), positioned seaward of the structure, was used to separate incident waves according to the approach by Zelt and Skjelbreia (1992). For wave paraeters and water depth considered as shown hereafter, the wave gauges were separated by 0.81 and 0.22, which ensured the ost accurate separation of reflected waves fro all siultaneous recorded wave tie series. The standard breakwater crosssection for testing is shown in Fig. 2. The water depth was at least 2.5H 0, H 0 being the wave height at the structure, to assure that no wave breaking could occur before the structure. The crest of the odel breakwater is at a fixed level of 0.75 (level of the concrete cap) with reference to the flue botto at 0.0. Through changing the still water level, the crest freeboard was varied in a wide range between 0.6H 0 and 1.5H 0, corresponding to fro inor to severe wave overtopping conditions. The slope of the structure in all tests is 1/1.5, including those of Tetrapod. The crest ber before the concrete cap are 3Dn wide (i.e. Gc = 3.Dn, Dn noinal diaeter of RAKUNAIV), iplying that no wave overtopping reduction due to the ber is considered (see EurOtop, 2007). At the toe, a rock ber of 3Dn wide was also used as usual. The length and thickness of the concrete cap are Figure 2 Model crosssection for testing chosen so that it is stable (without any oveents) during experients. Its diensions are 25c by 16c. For stability assessent, two video caeras were placed at fixed locations, one above and one at the side of the slope, to onitor the oveent of blocks during experients. For wave overtopping analysis, overtopped water was directed through a centrallyplaced chute and followed by a container (see Figs. 1 and 2). Two opening sizes of the chute, either 0.1 or 0.2, were used to facilitate the discharge easureent, depending on the severity of wave overtopping. Soe photos of the experiental layout and the odel crosssection as built are shown in Fig. 3. Figure 3. Model crosssection as built 15 P a g e

3 Eq. (3) suggests that H 0 = 0.23 can be used as the axiu wave height for testing the stability. Holland wave flue of WRU is fully capable of generating waves of this height. As a result, 04 different wave heights are chosen for experients, varying between 0.5H 0 to 1.0H 0. Each wave height should then be cobined with several wave steepnesses, which results in 9 wave conditions. Each of the wave conditions is repeated with four different flue water depths at 52.5, 55.0, 57.5 and 60c. The experiental progra includes 36 experients in total. Aongst these, soe were retested several ties to check the repeatability of the easureent results. For stability, a test is considered copleted once the nuber of waves Nz has reached 3000 or the core has exposed to wave attack (exposed area larger than two block diaeters). This eans that the axiu duration of a test is approxiately 3000 ties the tested peak period (3000.Tp). Within the sae test, wave overtopping was easured for the first at least 1000 waves only. This tie duration is considered sufficient for generating the full wave spectra over the frequency doain of interest and stabilizing statistical properties of wave overtopping. For the sake of crosscoparison in ters of wave overtopping reduction with another block types, 08 experients with Tetrapod were also selected for testing. A suary of the experiental conditions is shown in Table 1. Table 1. Suary of experiental conditions Series No. H0 Tp 0 Rc Rc/H0 of () (s) () () Note exp overtopping, RAKUNA stability IV (50) TETRAPOD overtopping only Figure 4 Overtopping chute and container B. Test conditions and easureents A. Test progra The tested waves in all experients were standard JONSWAP spectra, which are considered appropriate for typhoongenerated waves in the East sea of Vietna. Severe wave overtopping often occur in situations which are close to the design wave conditions for structure stability. Norally, breakwaters with a steep slope are designed for a fixed stability nuber (H 0/.D n). A stability nuber is defined for each unit and is the basis for both test setup and the crosssection. The design wave height H 0 for experients can be calculated as: H 0 N.. D (3) s n in which Ns is a chosen block stability nuber, N s = 3.8 as the average stability nuber at failure for RAKUNAIV, D n is the unit noinal diaeter, D n = 4.11c (Based on the the result of the block stability fro the preceding study, also see Tuan et al., 2011), (=1.30) is the relative density of the unit aterial. B. Measureents (a) Wave paraeters Wave height H 0 (the zeroth oent wave height) and spectral periods T p, T 1,0 (for wave overtopping analysis) and T 0,1 (for stability assessent) are deterined based on incident wave spectra (after separation of reflected waves as aforeentioned) as follows: H (4) 0 0 where 0 is the zeroth oent of the easured incident wave spectra. A spectral period T, can be deterined according to easured spectral oents: T, 1 where and are th and th oents of the variance density spectra, receptively. Another iportant paraeter which characterizes the behaviour of waves on slope is the breaker index or Irribaren nuber : (5) 16 P a g e

4 tan s s 2 H gt 0 2 in which tan is structure slope (= 1/1.5), s is fictitious wave steepness based on spectral period T (either T 1,0 or T 0,1). (b) Wave overtopping Overtopped water fro the container is puped out and scaled with containers with volue reading arks. The error in easuring the wave overtopping volue was negligibly sall. The ean overtopping rate q is deterined over the test duration: q V T ovt (7) ovt where V ovt is the total overtopping volue easured over the test duration for overtopping T ovt. Since there was no eans of disturbancefree supply of water back into the flue, the ean water level was slowly falling during the easureent. This eans in fact that the crest freeboard was slowly increasing, depending on the severity of overtopping. To account for this effect, the flue water level before and after each test was carefully easured to deterine the testaveraged crest freeboard Rc, which is used later on for the data analysis. 1 Rc Rc 0 R (8) c 2 in which R c0 is the initial crest freeboard (the vertical distance fro the structure crest level to the still water level for testing), Rc is the flue water level difference before and after a test. It is worth noticing that the structure crest level considered herein is the level of the concrete cap, not the top level of the ain arour layer (see EurOtop2007). Overall, the axiu fall of the water level Rc was about 1.5 c, iplying around 0.75 c of additional increase of freeboard for the heaviest overtopping. As indicated in Tuan et al. (2006) through the use of the testaveraged crest freeboard (and of course the fall in the water level was iplicitly accounted for in the easured wave heights theselves) the effect of the flue drawdown within this range on the overtopping paraeterization can be neglected. C. Structure core and secondary layer The study is restricted to the rubble ound type of breakwaters. The odel breakwater to be tested consists of 03 successive layers: arour (concrete blocks), secondary and core. The two inner layers are grading stones, which are carefully chosen to assure the stability of the arour layer as is in prototype conditions. As flue experients are basically Froude scaled. The top and the secondary layers of the odel are scaled down with a prescribed constant lengthscale factor between prototype and odel (the odel length scale) to describe the stability of these two layers properly. The core, however, would require a different scaling law according to Burcharth et al. (1999) to iniize viscous effects and thus ore properly describe the friction of the porous flow in the odel core. This approach often results in a coarser odel core. As we do not scale a real prototype breakwater the size (6) of the odel core can be chosen so that it is not only practical to build but also avoids instability of the cover layer caused the internal setup. The aterial sizes for the core and the underlayer for this study are based on the preceding study of Tuan et al. (2011) (see Table 2). Table 2. Characteristics of odel blocks, secondary and core layers Dn (c) W50 (g) D85/D15 Rakuna IV Tetrapod Secondary Core D. Testing procedure The following procedure applied for all experients: 1) Level the surface of the secondary layer and placing concrete blocks; 2) Take photos of the slope with arour layer before testing; 3) Fill the flue with water up to the required level; 4) Measure the initial flue water level; 5) Calibrate the wave gauges (every orning); 6) Asseble the wave overtopping chute and container; 7) Start the experient with wanted wave paraeters; 8) Monitor and record the signals fro the wave gauges; 9) Pup out water fro overtopping container; 10) Reove wave overtopping chute after 1000 waves; 11) Take photos of the slope every 1000 waves and after testing; 12) Visual inspection of the slope daage; 13) Epty the flue and reove the slope; 14) Scale the total volue of wave overtopping. E. Analysis of wave overtoppingresult Wave overtopping data fro 50 experients (including repeated ones) with Rakuna and 8 ones with Tetrapod are used for interpreting the roughness reduction factor. Results fro control/repeated experients under the sae testing paraeters show that the repeatability of the experients is excellent. We first investigate the influence of 1,0 on the slope roughness factor for both Rakuna and Tetrapod. For this, the easured roughness factor can be derived fro Eq. (1) as follows: log( QTAW ) r (9) log( Q ) in which Q TAW is the diensionless reference discharge predicted by TAW2002, i.e. use of the right hand side of Eq. (1) with r = Q is the easured diensionless discharge, i.e. use of the left hand side of Eq. (1) with the easured ean discharge. Figure 5 shows the result of the variation of the roughness factor with 1,0. Clearly, the factor is not constant for the given slope but increases as 1,0 increases. This tendency is very well in line with the characteristic observed in wave runup discussed earlier. Within the range 17 P a g e

5 of 1,0 covered by all the tests, two distinct subranges are Roughness factor RAKUNAIV realized, viz. 1,0 = and 1,0 > 4.0, on each of The wave overtopping data fro the extensive odel which a representative value of r can be given. Moreover, experients are used herein to derive the roughness factor the roughness factor of Rakuna is slightly larger than that of for Rakuna. Siilarly, the roughness factor for Rakuna is Tetrapod. also considered in association with the breaker index 1,0. The result is shown in Fig. 8. The roughness factors of Rakuna for 1,0 = and for 1,0 > 4.0 are r = 0.41 and 0.51, respectively. These are slightly higher than those of Tetrapod. Figure 5 Variation of r with 1,0 Roughness factor TETRAPOD Though the roughness factor for Tetrapod has extensively been investigated, the result for Tetrapod in this study is of iportance to check and assert the overall reliability of the experients for Rakuna. Moreover, through coparing with the roughness factor of Tetrapod fro previous studies, the result for Rakuna can further be interpreted. As hinted at in Fig.5, the roughness factor should distinctly be derived for each of the two subranges of 1,0. Fig. 6 shows the result of the roughness factor associated with these two subranges: r =0.39 for 1,0 = and r = 0.49 for 1,0 > 4.0. Figure 8 Roughness factor of Rakuna Figure 9 Wave overtopping data reelaborated with roughness factors Finally, the overtopping data are recalculated with Eq. (1) with the roughness factors given for the two corresponding ranges of 1,0. The results are shown in Fig. 9, yielding fairly good agreeent. Figure 6 Roughness factor of Tetrapod With the roughness factors given corresponding to the ranges of the breaker index 1,0, wave overtopping data are reelaborated according to Eq. (1) and presented in Fig. 8. The result is well in line with the prediction lines by TAW2002. Figure 7 Wave overtopping data reelaborated with roughness factors IV. CONCLUSIONS An extensive experiental progra was carried out to investigate the roughness influence of the two types of block arours Tetrapod and Rakuna on wave overtopping. The result for Tetrapod is very well consistent with the preceding study by Bruce et al. (2009), which asserts that the overall reliability of the experients carried out in this study is acceptable or at least the data quality of this study and that by Bruce et al. (2009) are siilar. It is found that the roughness factor is certainly not a fixed value for wave overtopping on a such steep slope (1/1.5), but increases as 1,0 increases. This reconfirs the findings fro preceding studies about the sae behaviour observed in wave runup. Through a wide range of the breaker index 1,0 tested, it can be concluded that for better prediction of wave overtopping the roughness factor should distinctly be used for the two subranges of 1,0 = and 1,0 > 4.0. Between Tetrapod and Rakuna, the latter shows a slightly higher roughness factor, r = 0.39 vs. 0.41, although these are quite siilar in shape. The physical explanation for this is that Rakuna has a higher storage 18 P a g e

6 volue due to relatively high porosity (56.5%) and ore iportantly a higher water retention capacity due to its shape. As the wave slowly surges up and down, ore water is stored and stays relatively longer within the arour layer (due to slow release). Because of this thicker water buffer, the surging wave feels a lesser roughness on a Rakuna slope. At last, regarding the roughness factor for the range 1,0 = , as r = 0.38 for Tetrapod is recoended by EurOtop (2007), r = 0.40 for Rakuna should be used as interpreted fro the result in this study copared with that by Bruce et al. (2009). The roughness factors together with their 95 % confidence liits are shown in Table 3. Those in brackets are readjusted fro the original values (outside brackets) so that the roughness factor r for Tetrapod in this study is also equal to The 95% confidence band is also soewhat narrower than that by Bruce et al. (2009), indicating lesser scatter in the easured wave overtopping data.
