| Summary: | Manmade material for armoring breakwater slope has been widely used. The advantages of this type of material are numerous such as to effectively reduce the construction cost. The Gamapod were introduced and shown to have a high stability against wave attack. It was shown that a stability coefficient of about twice that of tetrapod was achieved by gamapod material under the same condition.
The promising material was mixed with rubble mound to form a mixed armor layer. This was then tested under wave attack. The results showed that the mixed material was more stable when compared with gamapod armor layer. It was also found that the mixed armor layer follows a different character of stability curve |
