Wave reflection coefficient is an important parameter in designing of rubble mound breakwaters. In this paper, the results of a series of experimental tests for prediction of reflection efficients of irregular waves from rubble mound breakwaters with layers of artificial armour units is presented. Then, the prediction formulas fitted to the experimental data are derived. Finally, the results are compared with the results of other investigations.
