This is a comprehensive report describing design properties of materials 

 used in coastal protective structures and some harbor structures. The mate- 

 rials include stone, earth, concretes, asphalts, grouts, structural and sheet 

 metals, wood, and plastics. The principal physical properties of these mate- 

 rials and their importance in the selection of materials for different types 

 of projects are presented. The materials that have proved most effective and 

 durable in coastal structures, such as stone, concrete, steel, and timber,
