Interlocking properties affecting stability of rubble mound breakwaters are investigated. Stability tests of ripraps against wave attack are performed by changing disposition patterns. Another stability tests are carried out to examine stabilizing effects by using stuffing stones. These results show that the stability of ripraps strongly depends on the interlocking properties which may be parameterized in terms of void fraction, coordinate number, diameter ratio for two particle system and angle of repose.
