Account of Breakwater Concrete Blocks on the Tetrapod Example

Abstract

Breakwater structures are used to shield shores of rivers, seas, ocean or sea ports from destructive forces. There are different types of breakwater structures, in this project proposal figurative arrays for end-to-end constructions are discussed, which are used in breakwater structures and are referred to as formal blocks. This kind of blocks are used against erosion of coastal line as well as to build molo of edging of sea ports. From the several types of formal blocks used in the globe, tetrapod is the one that has been developed the earliest and is most extensively used. Calculation for this kind of blocks using Hudson formula is covered in this article.
