An Experimental Study on Deformation of Wave -Dissipating Concrete Blocks Covering Caisson Breakwaters
Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the deformation characteristics of wave-dissipating concrete blocks covering caisson breakwaters. Examples of actual deformation were examined to obtain knowledge on the features. The study suggested that the relative crown height of the breakwater affected the deformation of the wave-dissipating concrete blocks. A series of hydraulic stability tests was conducted to investigate the deformation characteristics. The test results show that deformation of wave-dissipating concrete blocks is different between low and high crown conditions.
