Abstract
Although concrete armour units have traditionally been used in two layers, the application of single-layer armour has attracted more attention in recent years because of its lower concrete volume and faster construction pace. Single-layer amour relies mainly on the contact between units to provide stability; however, installation of special armour types with surface projections for better interlocking, increases the possibility of breakage. During the last decade the idea of using bulky armour units such as cubes has been raised, and the application of these single-layer armour units has become common for high-crested breakwaters. However, the application of cube armours for low-crested...

Abstract
Resources management is essential duo to sustainable development and marine resources limitations. There are several ways to restore coastal damaged ecosystems, one of the best and most cost effective solution is establishment of artificial reefs. A popular type of artificial reef is named Reef ball, a hollow hemisphere. In some regions these habitats has also been used as submerged breakwater. These structures recover and protect endangered species ecosystem although they provide aesthetic view to a beach. Main application of these structures is to provide a safe environment for marine creature. In this study initially Transmission coefficient variation in two-dimensional model experiments...
