“…It generates that a AR had a great social interest [4]. In addition, AR can be used to rehabilitate reef flats degraded [5], to increase the employment of an area, to improve tourism [2] or to give other uses to offshore wind [6]. The destruction of the marine habitat is one of the main causes of the decline in biodiversity and fishery resources.…”

Green Artificial Reefs (GARs) are marine structures to exploit sea resources in a sustainable way (produce food resources, improve the tourism, etc.). They should be installed on the seabed, process that is not usually easy. Therefore, their installation process should be clearly defined. The aim of this paper is to propose several methods for installing a group of green artificial reefs designed in the PROARR research project. Two of these methodologies are conventional: a bulkcarrier and a special service workboat. The other technique is innovative: an autonomous vehicle. All of them offer different results in terms of maneuverability, positioning, precision and cost. This study will compare these four methods of installing green artificial reefs to improve the knowledge about this type of sustainable way of exploiting the marine resources.

“…A properly cured concrete has been observed to have decreased permeability, reduced plastic shrinkage, higher durability and increased surface hardness [ 7 , 29 ]. It has been observed that various conditions of curing have different effects on concrete microstructure and concrete mechanical performance [ 30 ]. Although sea water curing is found to be an area of interest for researchers, it is still requiring further research for behaviour of rubberised concrete incorporated with WCBP.…”

“…Seawater and sand are the key constituents for the development of the instant cement-base composites in the offshore construction [5,6,7,8]. The seawater curing process is the preferable choice for the cement-base composites preparation in the marine environment as the result of the instant efficiency [9,10,11]. Wang et al [12] carried out multi-scale investigations on hydration mechanisms of ordinary Portland cement with seawater mixing and reported that the seawater cement paste demonstrates a highly stiffened structure for its rheological behavior at the fresh stage.…”

Experimental Study on Foci Development in Mortar Using Seawater and Sand

Mortar using seawater and sand was the material studied here. The mortar specimens, in particular, were cured in natural seawater. The foci development in the mortar was the principal interest in this study. The on-line damage detection experiment art, including dynamically global MSHCT (Multi-Slices Helical Computer Tomography) scan and the local detection of EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectrometer), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), and XRD (X-ray Diffraction) was designed to research the foci development in the mortar specimen. The mortar specimens with 70-day age were produced and investigated by the on-line damage detection experiments. The experiment results indicated that the mortar using seawater and sand offered appreciable strength at the early age, at least, although some saline minerals were generated during the preparation. The residual strength of the mortar was above 13 MPa, which helped to prevent the sharp damage of engineering bodies. The micro-interfacial behavior and the parental foci development controlled the damage evolution in the mortar using seawater and sand, the performance of which was still the adjustable one by composition optimization.
