Abstract
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Coastal Engineering is the collective term encompassing most
of the engineering activities related to works along the coasts
and recently has encompassed of~shore structures as well. This
branch of science has a complicating feature since it deals with
many independant variables with stochastic nature. Thus
statistical computations are involved to choose the optimum
design techniques to most of the coastal engineering problems.
Coastal Engineering is divided into three main divisions:
1. Harbors: which deal with the design of harbors’
constituents.
2. Off-shore engineering: The primary stimulus for off.

3. Coastal morphology: is the study of the interaction of
waves on the coast.
The present analysis is a study to one of the most important
harbor constituents. It deals with the interaction of waves with
the rubble mound. The main theme of this thesis, is the energy
dissipation by rubble mound and the choice of an optimum
breakwater suiting the displayed conditions thus the action of
waves on the coast is reduced and the beach is protected as
possible.
