 In 2009 research has been carried out on the influence of concrete density on the stability of Xbloc armour. This research was carried out in the Delta Marine Consultants wave flume in Utrecht

 The research has been carried out by Bart van Zwicht as graduation thesis for his Master study at Delft University. Three types of concrete densities have been tested on slopes of 1:2, 1:1.5 and 3:4. The report on the masters thesis can be downloaded from the Delft University web site via the following link. Bart van Zwicht joined the Xbloc team in October 2010
