Journal of the institution of engineers (India): Series ASummary: This study presents the result obtained from a series of experiments conducted in regular wave flume to assess the stability of toe protection for wall type breakwater. In the present paper, the determination of the size of the toe armour units and its cross-section for the stable design is presented. The applicability of the Brebner and Donnelly (Coast Eng Proc 1: 24, 1962) design curve for depth limited conditions is validated for a certain fixed relative foundation depth (d1/d) and wavelength (L), the significant wave height (Hs). The main aim of the tests is to know the stability of the toe armour units and % damage level for varying wave characteristics. The results are represented in non-dimensional graphs and it is observed that the maximum percentage damage observed for the depth of water 0.35 m is 5.2 %.
