Abstract	Large scale wave run-up tests have been performed in the project “Research on the use of heavy rock in rubble mound breakwaters and seawalls” in the LARGE WAVE CHANNEL (GWK) of the Coastal Research Center (FZK). The largest scale tests have been supported by the European Community under the Access to Research Infrastructure action of the Human Potential Program. The participants of the project were Aalbor University (Denmark coordinator) Ghent University (Belgium), Havnecon Consulting Aps (Denmark) and NCC Industry (Norway). The GWK is the most important facility for basic and applied research on Coastal Engineering phenomena at the Coast Research Center. The main objective of this paper were firstly to investigate the influence of rock density and armour layer stability and secondly to collect large scale data on wave run-up and wave overtopping.
