Large Xblocs (8.0 m 3 or 280 cu ft) on a trial placement area. An Xbloc is a wave-dissipating concrete block (or "armour unit") designed to protect shores, harbour walls, seawalls, breakwaters and other coastal structures from the direct impact of incoming waves.
Tetrapods used to protect a seawall Large interlocked Xblocs (8.0 m 3 or 280 cu ft) in a trial placement. A wave-dissipating concrete block is a naturally or manually interlocking concrete structure designed and employed to minimize the effects of wave action upon shores and shoreline structures, such as quays and jetties.
A wave-dissipating concrete block is a naturally or manually interlocking concrete structure designed and employed to minimize the effects of wave action upon shores and shoreline structures, such as quays and jetties. One of the earliest designs is the Tetrapod, invented in 1950.
N S = H S /(∆ D n50)= 2.7 (2.8 for Accropode II) where: H S = significant wave height ∆ = relative mass density D n50 = nominal diameter These coefficients are valid for armour slopes from 3H/2V to 4H/3V and for seabed slopes up to 3%. The uneven surface of the Ecopode improves interlocking by friction, thereby increasing hydraulic stability.
A dolos (plural: dolosse [1]: 10 ) is a wave-dissipating concrete block used in great numbers as a form of coastal management. It is a type of tetrapod . Weighing up to 8 tonnes (8.8 short tons ), dolosse are used to build revetments for protection against the erosive force of waves from a body of water.
A pallet of "8-inch" concrete blocks An interior wall of painted concrete blocks Concrete masonry blocks A building constructed with concrete masonry blocks. A concrete block, also known as a cinder block in North American English, breeze block in British English, or concrete masonry unit (CMU), or by various other terms, is a standard-size rectangular block used in building construction.
