Abstract
ABSTRACT O ZDEN , U.A. and T OPAL , T., 2007. Quality assessment of the armourstones for some Black Sea rubble mound breakwaters, Turkey. Journal of Coastal Research, SI 50 (Proceedings of the 9th International Coastal Symposium), 190 – 194. Gold Coast, Australia, ISSN 0749.0208 The Black Sea coastline is a hazardous region in Turkey, especially in winter, due to the dominant wave action. Therefore, rubble mound breakwaters used as ship shelters are vital structures, especially for the fishermen. Construction of the breakwater requires good quality, durable armourstones. Due to the nature of the rubble mound breakwaters, armourstones of various sizes and types are used in the construction of these structures. The deterioration of these armourstones with time may result in the failure of the breakwater. In this study, the quality and durability of the armourstones (mainly limestone, andesite and sandstone) used or to be used in three rubble mound breakwaters are investigated through field and laboratory studies. Among the studied armourstones, the three limestones are found to be good in long-term quality and durability. However, the sandstone displays poor performance, whereas the andesite is marginal. Both static durability index and CIRIA/CUR evaluation successfully predict the long-term durability of the armourstones.
ABSTRACT O ZDEN , U.A. and T OPAL , T., 2007.土耳其黑海碎石堆防波堤装甲石质量评估。Journal of Coastal Research, SI 50 (Proceedings of the 9th International Coastal Symposium), 190 - 194.澳大利亚黄金海岸,ISSN 0749.0208 黑海海岸线是土耳其的危险区域,尤其是在冬季,因为波浪作用占主导地位。因此,用作船舶庇护所的碎石堆防波堤是至关重要的建筑,尤其是对渔民而言。防波堤的建造需要优质耐用的铠装石。由于瓦砾堆防波堤的性质,在建造这些结构时需要使用各种尺寸和类型的铠装石。随着时间的推移,这些铠甲石的老化可能会导致防波堤失效。本研究通过实地考察和实验室研究,对三座碎石堆防波堤使用或将要使用的铠装石(主要是石灰岩、安山岩和砂岩)的质量和耐久性进行了调查。研究发现,在所研究的铠装石中,三种石灰岩的长期质量和耐久性较好。然而,砂岩的性能较差,而安山岩的性能较差。静态耐久性指数和 CIRIA/CUR 评估都能成功预测铠装石的长期耐久性。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Coastal Research (JCR) is one of the leading international journals for coastal studies and processes, and is published bi-monthly by the Coastal Education & Research Foundation [CERF]. By covering the entire field of coastal research, the JCR encompasses all subjects relevant to natural and engineered environments (freshwater, brackish, or marine) and the protection/management of their resources in the vicinity of coastlines of the world. Even though the journal broadly focuses on immediate shoreline zones, the JCR also embraces those coastal environments that either reach some indefinite distance inland or that extend seaward beyond the outer margins of the sublittoral (neritic) zone. The JCR disseminates accurate information to both the public and research specialists around the world on all aspects of coastal issues in an effort to maintain or improve the quality of our planet''s shoreline resources.
