Breakwater Unit Design Guidelines
Below information can be used for the preparation of a concept design. DMC is pleased to make a concept design for Xbloc® armoured slopes. Please return the client data sheet or contact us directly for a preliminary design - without any obligations.

Equations and design table are based on:
slope: 3V : 4H
ρc: 2400 kg/m3 = concrete density
ρw : 1030 kg/m3 = water density
Kd 16 for trunk section
For breakwater head section armour units are 25% heavier than for trunk section (Kd=13)
Xbloc® is worldwide protected by patents en patent applications.
