Concrete Armours are also known as Rubble mound breakwaters are mostly built of quarried rock. Larger armour stones are generally used for the outer layer to protect the structure against wave attack. The wave loads during a design storm may show the need for an armour rock size, which cannot be economically produced and transported …
systems using concrete armour units have become a more common practice compared to conventional two-layer systems. There are several types of artificial armour units which can be applied as single-layer armour systems. These all have different shapes and properties and improvement keeps going on by trying to develop new more effective ones.
A new artificial concrete armour technology has been selected as part of the solution. The Port of Hanstholm is currently undergoing a major 500 million DKK design-build expansion, which includes constructing new outer breakwaters, a new and deeper harbour entrance, new and larger quays, and hinterland.
Tetrapod, one of the well-known artificial concrete units, is frequently used as an armor unit on breakwaters. Two layers of tetrapod units are normmaly placed on the breakwaters with different ...
QUALITY AND DURABILITY OF CONCRETE ARMOUR UNITS L. Van Damme * L. Taerwe ** R. Dedeyne + J. De Rouck ++ 1. INTRODUCTION The reliability of rubble mound breakwaters not only depends on the hydraulic stability but to a large extent on the strength of the armour units as well. In the debate on the shape of armour units, which turns out …
Tetrapod, one of the well-known artificial concrete units, is frequently used as an armor unit on breakwaters. Two layers of tetrapod units are normmaly placed on the breakwaters with different placement methods.
A new type of concrete armour unit is developed for breakwaters in considering the problems like stability, interlocking, required special equipment and experienced staff, cost and maintenance in the existing concrete units. …
Other values of K D for other situations, including artificial concrete armor units, are discussed in USACE (1984) and USACE (2002). For typical conditions of specific gravity of stone (S r =2.65 for granite) and unit weight of stone (w r =165 lb/ft3), with the empirical coefficient set to K D =2.2, Equation 6.1 can be written as: (6.2) where:
Lightweight concrete can be specified using the notation LC for the strength class, e.g. LC30/33, which denotes a lightweight concrete with a cylinder strength of 30 MPa and a cube strength of 33 MPa [3]. ...

Development of a new concrete armor unit for high waves. Journal of Coastal Research, 35(3), 719–728. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.Hundreds of new concrete armor units (CAUs) have been developed since 1950, but only a few have been used because of their low price and familiarity.
the grading of the armour rocks and the shape of the rocks. Generally the actual number of rocks eroded in a Dn50-wide strip is equal to 0.7 to 1 times the damage S. Figure 1 Damage S based on erosion area Ae The limits of S depend mainly on the slope angle of the structure. For a two-diameter thick armour layer the values in Table 1 can be used.
