Placement Grids, Porosity and Randomness of Armor Layers

Abstract: Armor porosity and armor unit randomness are much easier to control in small-scale models constructed by hand than in prototype. Differences between design and prototype armor porosities and design and armor unit randomness can generate significant model effects. This paper describes realistic 3D placement tests with cube and Cubipod CAUs, using a small-scale crawler crane and pressure clamps. This research aims to estimate workable armor porosities at prototype scale and to determine the prototype placement g… Show more

“…Detailed 3D measurements of the toplayer surface of a Cubipod armour layer have been performed by Pardo et al [2013]. The goal of this research was to measure the amount of randomness, which needed to be maximized for this particular breakwater element type, while the current research is focussed on small deviations from a regular pattern.…”

“…Whatever the armor unit orientation required, some units are placed using a specific placement grid whose characteristics depend on the type of armor unit and design considerations. The placement grid provides the exact planar X-Y coordinates, indicating how each unit must be placed by the crawler crane, which is often equipped with precise GPS positioning (see Pardo et al, 2012Pardo et al, , 2014.…”
