| Summary: | This study was carried out with an objective of
improving the durability of unjams and determining the
rational arrangement and optimum density of unjams .
Several experiments were conducted in coastal waters of
Terengganu in the South China Sea to determine a safe
anchoring power of unjams and parameters required for the
development of mathematical models that could produce an
optimum trapping efficiency .Experiment s on anchoring power showed sandy bottom
giving the highest value of fixing coefficient ( 0. 953 ) ,
foll owed by muddy bottom ( 0. 903 ) , and sandy -mud bottom
( 0.731 ) . This value was found to be higher for two sandbags
tied one behind the other than for two sandbags tied
in one lump.The unjam's anchor was found to have a reserved fixing force of 67 . 34 kg , which is 93 . 86% in
excess of what was required to anchor a n unjam in place . |
