Abstract

Placement tests of Xbloc on a model with a realistic placement method. Results of the placement. To design a placement grid for a head a theoretical model has been built, which is capable to design a grid on irregular breakwater profiles. This model is been tested in an experimental study. The proposed placement model proved to predict stable unit positions even for breakwater heads.
