Influence of irregularities in the rock underlayer on the stability of Xbloc^Plus

Many rubble mound breakwaters are nowadays made with an armour layer consisting of single layer interlocking elements. The stability of these armour layers could well be influenced by the irregularity of the rock underlayer, as that influences the degree of interlocking. Especially for the new types of regularly placed armour, this might be...

Generating electricity at a breakwater in a moderate wave climate

A new concept for wave energy conversion is examined as a proof of concept for generating electricity in a moderate wave climate while being integrated in a caisson breakwater. Physical model testing is performed to analyse the preliminary efficiency of the device and to identify areas of improvement. The resulting device is calculated for two...

Breakwater stability with damaged single layer armour units

The effect of single layer interlocking armour unit breakage on the hydraulic armour layer stability and potential damage progression is addressed in this paper. A 2-dimensional scale model of a rubble mound breakwater with an armour layer consisting of Xbloc armour units was tested. The residual armour layer stability with broken units was...

The effect of foreshore slope on breakwater stability

Experience has shown that stability parameters for breakwater armour are different for steep and shallow foreshores, as well as for deep and shallow water. A change from a deep water spectral information (Tm0) to shallow water spectral information (Tm-1,0) does not completely explains this difference. Tests have shown that stability also depends...
