<p>Wave breaking / run-up / overtopping and their impact on the stability of rubble-mound breakwaters (both at trunk and roundhead) are not adequately characterized yet for climate change scenarios. The same happens with the influence of high-incidence angles on such phenomena.</p> <p>To study these phenomena a stretch of a rubble-mound breakwater (head and part of the adjoining trunk, with a slope of 1(V):2(H)) was built in the wave basin of the LUH, The trunk of the breakwater was 7.5 m long and the head had the same cross section as the exposed part of breakwater. The model was 9.0 m long, 0.82 m high and 3.0 m wide. The angle between the longitudinal axis of the breakwater and the tank wall was 70&ordm;. Two types of armour elements (rock and Antifer cubes) were tested.</p> <p>60 tests were carried out in this experiment to assess, under extreme wave conditions (wave steepness of 0.055) with different incidence wave angles (from 40&ordm; to 90&ordm;), the structure behaviour in what concerns wave run-up, wave overtopping and damage progression of the armour layer.</p> <p>The report describes the data collected in those tests as well as how such data is stored.</p>
