A series of physical model tests was conducted in a wave flume to study the effect of dynamic rubble protection in front of a vertical bulkhead. This rubble berm revetment was placed in front of a bulkhead with stone sized such that wave action would reshape the berm into an equilibrium profile. Profiles of the berm were taken before and after testing, and berms classified as "safe," "intermediate," or "failed" depending on protection provided to the bulkhead. Regression analysis was used to determine the quantity of stone necessary to provide protection for a wide range of storm conditions. An equation also was developed to quantify the reflected wave energy and thus determine the energy dissipation by the berm.
