Armor layer assembly for breakwater with crest elements
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11959237B2) discloses an innovative armor layer assembly designed for breakwaters. The assembly consists of horizontal rows of armor elements and a horizontal row of crest elements. Each armor element features wings, a tail, and a nose extending from a central part, while each crest element includes wings and a nose extending from a central part. The arrangement ensures that the noses of the crest elements are supported on top of the armor elements, creating a sturdy structure. Additionally, the patent details specific angles and configurations for optimal performance, including the alignment of wings and the slant of the back face of the central part of the crest elements.
Furthermore, the patent extends to the application of this armor layer assembly in breakwaters, particularly on sloping sides. By incorporating the assembly into the breakwater design, a smooth transition from the back faces of the wings to the central part is achieved, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the structure. The patent also covers the use of fill-material in the interspace between the crest elements and the breakwater, providing additional support and stability. Additionally, methods for implementing the armor layer assembly on the sloping side of a breakwater and constructing a breakwater using the disclosed assembly are outlined, offering practical guidance for industry professionals looking to enhance the durability and performance of breakwater structures.
