advantages and disadvantagesrubble mound monolithic • simple construction
• withstand unequal settlement• large ratio between initial
damage and collapse• many guidelines available• dependence on the availability
of adequate quarry• large quantity of material
required in deep water• large space required• difficult to use as quay wall
• short construction time on location
• can function as quay wall• economical use of material in
deeper water• sensitivity to poor foundation
conditions• uncertainty about wave loads in
breaking waves• complete and sudden failure
when overloaded• reflection against vertical wall• limited support for the designer
from guidelines and literature

Closure dams: special conditions
• subdivision of the basin in order to reduce storage area
• subdivision because of two entrances• a closure with two or more entrances

The gap is not (yet) in equilibrium• stabilise the bottom of
the gap as soon as possible
• avoid erosion of gullies in the storage area
