Physical Evaluation Of The Hydrodynamic Stability Of An Eco-engineered Armouring Unit

ECOncrete®‘s Coastalock is an ecologically designed armour unit, providing an alternative and/or a complement to traditional armour layers with ecologically enhanced armouring that provides shoreline stabilization, while also creating well-defined local ecosystems that mimic natural rock pools. The 2D physical model tests performed at TU Delft...

Automatic settlement analysis of single-layer armour layers

A method to quantify, analyse, and present the settlement of single-layer concrete armour layers of coastal structures is presented. The use of the image processing technique for settlement analysis is discussed based on various modelling<br/>studies performed over the years. The accuracy of the technique is assessed, and the application of the...

Experimental research on the stability of armour and secondary layer in a single layered Tetrapod breakwater

Physical model tests were done on an armour of Tetrapods, placed in a single layer. The objective of the investigations was to study the stability of the secondary layer, and to see if the material of this secondary layer could be washed out through the single layer of Tetrapods. It was concluded that secondary armour is not washed out through...
