N2 - This paper summarizes and critically reflects present knowledge on stepped revetments implemented in coastal protection structures for more than 60 years. Published and unpublished results of experimental investigations on wave run-up, wave overtopping and wave loads on stepped revetments are being re-analyzed and persistent knowledge gaps addressed. Due to an increasing surface roughness stepped revetments reduce the wave run-up height. Magnitudes of reduction are primarily driven by the slope angle, the presence of a shore face and the steepness of the incoming waves. Less influential is the geometry/shape of the single step, eg with inclined step faces or round edges. Energy dissipation rates are inclined to be dependent on the relation of step height to wave height but the specific influence is unknown up to date in accordance with a lack of knowledge in the fully physical understanding about drivers and inherent processes on wave run-up, reflection and dissipation. Present experimental investigations analysed from literature undergo scale effects that have a significant influence on the results due to dominant air intrusion in the run-up process on stepped revetments.
