These damages are predominantly caused by long-period primary ship waves, which can result in load cases that are particularly erosive to the rock armour layer. To date no design methods exists to dimension structures for long-period ship wave loads. This study presents an innovative groyne design optimized for resistance to ship-induced waves. During a field trial data were collected which allow for the characterisation of wave-structure-interaction as well as loads and damage parameters for the future development of validated design methods.<br><br><b>Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): <a href="https://youtu.be/FnrU8AKBITo">https://youtu.be/FnrU8AKBITo</a></b></html>}, number={36v}, journal={Coastal Engineering Proceedings}, author={Melling, Gregor and Jansch, Hanne and Holzwarth, Ingrid}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={structures.20} }
