What is the effect of a rocking unit on a slope?
Severe rocking of armor units will cause high forces in the armor units. Under wave conditions that may typically be expected during the lifetime of the structure little or no rocking of units may be expected. Furthermore, from extensive calculations and prototype drop tests it was found in contrast with some other armor units, that the Xbloc® unit can deal with forces related to rocking. Therefore rocking of a few units is not regarded to be a serious threat for a structure built using Xbloc® armor.
Severe rocking of armor units will cause high forces in the armor units. Under wave conditions that may typically be expected during the lifetime of the structure limited rocking of some units may be expected. Furthermore, from extensive calculations and prototype drop tests it was found in contrast with some other armor units, that the Xbloc® unit can deal with forces related to limited rocking. Therefore limited rocking of a few units is not regarded to be a serious threat for a structure built using Xbloc® armor.
