Abstract

An abrasion model to estimate the loss of stone volume due to abrasion is applied to six existing Icelandic breakwaters, five of which are of berm type and one is a conventional breakwater. The characteristics of the stones have been determinated through extensive fieldwork presented here. An empirical correlation between abrasion resistance index (requested in the application of the model) and the point load index has been assessed. The results from the model shows that the volume reduction due to abrasion because of stone movements is only of the order of 1 % and therefore not significant.
