b = seabed slope (%)
*For breaking waves and if the seabed slope (b) is greater than 1%, lower KD values shall apply.
dc = concrete density (tons/m)
S = armour slope tan 4/3 = 1.33
do = seawater density (tons/m) = 1.030
This proprietary information of CLI is provided for guidance only.
This table is also applicable with tan = 3/2 (S = 1.50)
Hence, it is not a substitute for analysis by an experienced registered Engineer.
Example : Trunk section
dc = 2.35 t/m 3
Hs = 7.70 m
b = 2%
no breaking waves
V = 12 m 3
