The object of this present research is to study probabilistic design of armor blocks protecting composite breakwaters and to produce optimum design methodology for S-shaped breakwaters in terms of failure probability and construction cost. Failure probability in the vicinity of the still water level is greatest in the case of uniform sloped breakwaters. Therefore,S-shaped breakwaters of which the slope near the still water level is milder have a reduced risk of damage compared to uniform sloped ones. The optimum design index presents good economics and reliability in rubble-mound breakwater design.
