Hydraulic Response and Overtopping Performance of Single-Layer Double Cube Unit Armored Mound Breakwater

Résumé

A newly developed friction-interlocking armor unit called the `Double cube' (DC) was designed to improve the performance of a concrete armor unit used in river/marine structures against currents/waves actions. The DC unit is an octagonal-shaped block made up of two parts: an upper cube set on a lower base that is either square or octagonal in shape. The innovative design aims to provide good performance in terms of stability, to allow for high tolerance placement with various contact points, and to allow for ease of placement. The DC's shape and placement enhance the unit's stability by bringing the center of gravity closer to the underlayer and by providing a large contact surface with the surrounding blocks that reduces the chance of extraction and limits movements (rocking, lifting) via the ``keystone'' effect. The characteristics of this new unit provide a relatively high hydraulic stability number for the armor layer (N-S = 2.9), a favorable hydraulic performance due to energy dissipation from turbulence and aeration, as well as a high roughness coefficient (& gamma;(f) & AP; 0.46), helping to reduce overtopping.
