Abstract

La presente invención se refiere a una unidad blindada para proteger riveras costeras, de río, de lago y de presa, líneas costeras y otras estructuras de las fuerzas hidrodinámicas dañinas del oleaje y de corrientes marinas, en descubierta. La unidad blindada tiene un miembro elongado central y un primero y segundo miembros elongados externos conectados con dicho miembro elongado central en lados opuestos del mismo. El primero y segundo miembros elongados externos tienen ejes longitudinales paraleslos extendiéndose normal al dicho eje longitudinal de dicho miembro elongado central. En un ejemplar particular, los miembros elongados tiene cada cual una transversal octagonal descendiendo desde una porción intermedia hacia los extremos opuestos. Cuando una pluralidad de estructuras se entrelazan para definir un arreglo protector, un alto grado de acunamiento es alcanzado entre dichos miembros octagonales. La estabilidad bidimensional de un arreglo ejemplar es de al menos 70.The present invention relates to an armored unit for protecting open shoreline, river, lake, and dam banks, shorelines, and other structures from damaging hydrodynamic forces of waves and ocean currents. The armored unit has a central elongated member and a first and second external elongated members connected to said central elongated member on opposite sides thereof. The first and second external elongated members have parallel longitudinal axes extending normal to said longitudinal axis of said central elongated member. In a particular example, the elongated members each have an octagonal transverse descending from an intermediate portion to opposite ends. When a plurality of structures interlock to define a protective arrangement, a high degree of cradling is achieved between said octagonal members. The two-dimensional stability of an exemplary array is at least 70.
