Executive Summary

The following discussions on the stability of wave dissipating concrete blocks in front of a vertical wall have been made on the basis of experimental results:
1 Difference in the stability between the actions of irregular waves and regular waves.
2 Variability of damage in the repeated tests.
3 Influence of wave dimensions on the stability.
4 Differenece in the stability between random placement and regular placement.
