![]() The geometry and material of the structure are typical strength variables. The load variable normally includes wave height, period and direction and water level. Strength (R) of the structure and loading (S) are usually functions of many variables. The new system of design for rubble mound breakwaters has been developed by PIANC whereby partial coefficients can be derived for any chosen probability of failure within the specified service life of the proposed structure. Therefore every design should be based on a low probability of failure for both ultimate limit state and repair limit states throughout the intended design life of the breakwater. All components of the breakwater such as main and leeside armour, toe and crest wall etc should have adequate partial safety so that the entire system behave consistently on a low possibility of failure during its design life. One of the primary requirements to breakwater design process is to achieve an acceptable low probability of failure throughout the design life as recommended in all design codes and guidelines. The report is the outcome of research after a considerable number of large breakwaters had failed globally or suffered severe damage. on AI techniques and applications for civil and structural engineers, 1989.Design of breakwater is not plugging numbers into Hudson's or Vandermeer's formulae instead it is a systematic assessment of failure probability based on the newly evolved design philosophy by PIANC ( Report No196: 2016).

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. It is envisaged that the completed system will act as a prototype for use in the design office of the future. At the Hydraulics and Maritime Research Laboratory (HMRL) in Ireland such a system is being developed. This lack of knowledge can be addressed by developing an expert system that can store much of the information presently scattered in numerous design manuals and research papers. Very often the engineer is not aware of methods and techniques that could be of help in the design. What does exist is a multitude of empirical formulae and heuristic methods on which the engineer must base his design. Whereas such major structures as bridges and skyscrapers lend themselves easily to precise mathematical analysis the same cannot be applied to breakwaters. The design process for a breakwater is unlike that of almost all other civil engineering structures.
