This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the behaviour of inclined groynes and a short discussion on the optimization of groyne systems It supplements a paper presented at the XI Coastal Engineering Conference (London, 1968) In the present paper both studies are applied to the design of a groyne system looated to the south of the Tagus estuary (near Lisbon)j where a serious erosion has been under way.

One hundred eighty-six papers presented at the seventeenth coastal engineering conference are included in these three volumes. There are four parts: 1) Theoretical and observed wave characteristics, 2) coastal sediment problems, 3) coastal structures and related problems, and 4) coastal, estuarine and environmental problems. Part one explores recent advances in wave theories, orbital velocities in irregular waves, and laboratory generation of long waves. Subjects in the second part include sediment flux through reef-lagoon systems, sediment dispersal, natural beaches, and dune dynamics. Part three examines coastal pipelines, seawalls, marinas and breakwaters, and part four explores estuarine modeling, tidal channels, mooring forces induced by passing ships, and port planning. The conference was sponsored by the ASCE Coastal Engineering Research Council, the ASCE Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Division, and the Australian Institution of Engineers.

Design Weight

Dolosse blocks were first described in 1966 by Merrifield and Zwamborn in a paper to the 10th Coastal Engineering Conference held in Tokyo. They reported a block whose design weight was one-fifth to one-sixth that of natural stone to resist the same wave height. The reaction of the profession was surprise and perhaps a little disbelief that the new block could have such a high K value. A considerable amount of testing followed in a number of hydraulic laboratories. Quite a lot of work was done at the Hydraulics Research Station at Wallingford and some interesting points came to light. The paper discusses how wave period and angle of attack affect block stability and suggests a way in which engineers might approach the problem of design of breakwaters.
