A new approach was used in three dimensional analyses, which is based on the finite element method to recognize the best stability of structure in rubble-mound breakwaters. Also the geometry of modeling was explored by artificial neural network to assess the validity of geometry. ... The design of the breakwater section,

In Portugal rubble-mound breakwaters are the most common harbour protection structure. Since 1985, the Portuguese Civil Engineering Laboratory is in charge of the periodic visual inspection of most of these structures.

The initial purposes of the investigation were to determine, by two-dimensional flume tests, the stability response of three alternate armorings for the proposed breakwater and to evaluate overall performance relative to wave overtopping.
