| Abstract: |
The assessment of armor damage on rubble mound structures can be carried out with different methodologies that need to be properly calibrated to guarantee the reliability of the results. The most commonly used parameter for the assessment of damage is the so called damage parameter. For prototypes, the averaged eroded area can be calculated if the geometry of the structure is measured before and after the damage. In the laboratory, profiling is the most common method used to assess the damage, but there are two other methods that can be applied. |
