The effect of gradation of armour stones and the amount of rounded stones in the armour on dynamically stable breakwaters was assessed in a two-dimensional wave flume. A total of 52 series of tests were undertaken at the Coastal Engineering Research Laboratory of Queen's University, Kingston, Canada using irregular waves. Profiles of the structure during the various stages of reshaping were measured using a semiautomatic profiler developed for this study. Four gradations of armour stones were used, giving a range in uniformity coefficient of 1.35–5.4. The volume of stones and the initial berm width required for the development of a stable profile, along with the extent to which the toe of the structure progressed seaward, were chosen as representative parameters of the reshaped breakwater. The results indicated that the toe width formed as a result of reshaping and the area of stones required for reshaping were dependent on the gradation of the armour stones. The initial berm width required for reshaping was also found to be dependent on the gradation and the percentage of rounded stones in the armour. Key words: breakwaters, dynamic stability, hydraulic models, stability, armour stones.
