Conclusions
-
1.
Laboratory investigations to evaluate the oblique approach of waves to a rockfill slope, despite their limitedness (small scale of the model or investigation only at one gradient of the slope, equal to 1.5), show the economic expediency of taking into consideration wave refraction in such cases.
-
2.
Equations (l)-(3) are recommended for calculation refraction and the mass of stone for protecting slopes from waves in the case of their oblique approach.
