An experimental model investigation was conducted using a two-dimensional stability model at an undisturbed linear scale of 1:28.5 (model to prototype). The purposes of the stability tests were as follows: (a.) Evaluate the stability of the proposed 4-ton dolos trunk section (Plan 1) when exposed to design wave and still-water level (swl) conditions. (b.) Determine the degree of breakwater damage that could occur in Plan 1 for a storm condition that exceeds the design condition. (c.) Determine the maximum nonbreaking wave heights for which the existing 2-ton dolos design (Plan 2) and the proposed 4-ton doles and 9- to 20-ton armor stone designs (Plan 3) could be considered to be adequately designed. Test results indicated that Plan 1 was only marginally acceptable and would most likely require significant amounts of maintenance if exposed to design level wave conditions (7.0- to 9.0-sec, 13.4-ft nonbreaking waves at an swl of +4.9 ft low water datum (lwd)). Plan 1 also proved to be a very inadequate design for wave conditions exceeding the design conditions (7.0- to 9.0-sec, 15.0-ft nonbreaking waves at an swl of +4.9 ft lwd). Plans 1, 2, and 3 proved to be adequate designs for 7.0- to 9.0-sec, 12.0-, 10.5-, and 13.4-ft nonbreaking waves, respectively, at an swl of +4.9 ft lwd.
