Stable Concrete Blocks on Rubble-Mound Breakwaters
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 128, Issue 4
Abstract
Data concerning hollow square concrete block, with four legs, is presented herein. This concrete block has much greater stability from wave attack than earlier specially-shaped concrete blocks, in addition to its distinguished ability for absorbing wave energy. The great effect of rubble mounds that are covered with two layers of the hollow-square and the hollow-tetrahedron armor units on the attenuation of shock pressures and wave overtopping exerted by breaking waves on breakwaters and seawalls has been proved in laboratory tests and, partly, in prototype tests.
