Abstract
Load and resistance factor design of mound breakwater against circular failure was developed in this study. To achieve the goal, uncertainties of parameters of soils, mound, and concrete cap were determined. Eight design cases of domestic mound breakwaters were collected and analyzed. Monte Carlo Simulation was implemented to determine the most critical slip surfaces of the design cases. Using the results of Monte Carlo Simulation, First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) was used to perform reliability analyses. Optimal load and resistance factors were calculated using the reliability analysis results and final load and resistance factors were proposed based on the calculated optimal factors.
