On what slope angles can the Xbloc® be laid?
The Xbloc® has been tested on slope angles of 3 [V]: 4 [H] and 1 [V]: 1.5 [H] as such slopes are commonly used for single layer armor units. Also tests have been carried out for a slope of 1 [V]: 2 [H], as such a slope may be required in severe seismic areas for geotechnical reasons. Xbloc has been applied on slopes of 3:4 to 1:2. Note that for slopes flatter than 3:4 no reduction in weight is advised. For Xbloc® application at different slope angles the stability should be investigated in the model tests.
