The information generated using this computing tool is only indicative and should only be used as
an initial approach. Simulations may help clarify some of the main parameters but cannot be used directly to establish the

actual basis fo the armour design. The Designer remains totally responsible for the complete analysis and definition of the

armour design.

CLI will provide assistance and advice for all stages, when required, on issues that can influence the final design.

ACCROPODE (TM) II armouring – Preliminary results from the CLI web site Calculator

APPENDIX A1
INFORMATION ON THE CALCULATOR PARAMETERS

C.L.I.
The Calculator :
This tool has been designed in order to carry out very preliminary calculations. It is based on
the well known Hudson formula for breakwater armouring design.
However, this version includes a variation in KD varying with the seabed slope in front of the
structure combined with wave breaking or non breaking (the KD reduction according to the
seabed slope is based on physical model results).
An option is also available by entering the parameters 9 and 10 (see table below). The
calculator will automatically check the number of rows along the armour slope and will display
the most suitable unit size.

Input parameters description :

1) The calculation can be applied on two types of structure stretches : a trunk


section or a non-linear section (sharp curve or bend).
2) The Calculator gives the choice between the four CLI units which are specified as
follows:
- The ACCROPODE™ unit is the first single layer unit developed by SOGREAH.
The ACCROPODE™ unit has been used on more than 150 projects around the
world.
- The ACCROPODE™ II unit is the last evolution of the ACCROPODE™ unit. This
new shape allows to preserve the robustness of the first generation, as well as to
improve the stability and the placement output.
- The rock appearance of the ECOPODE™ unit allows a better integration in the
natural environment as well as keeping the ACCROPODE™ II hydraulics
characteristics.
- The CORE-LOC™ unit developed by the US Corps of Engineers is a cost-
effective unit for sites exposed to moderate waves.
For further information concerning the CLI single layer units, CLI recommends
you to browse through CLI website as well as the brochures and tables available
in the download section of CLI web site.
3) Two armour slopes can be use for the CLI single layer: 4/3 and 3/2. However, for
the calculation with the Hudson formula, the calculator considers an armour slope
of 4/3. The slope chosen by the Designer will however be integrated for
geometrical considerations (number of rows). (see sketch on the previous
page[3]).
4) The concrete density should not be overestimated in order to be lower than the
minimum measured density on site.
5) The sea water density.
6) The significant wave height (Hs) is H1/3 (average of the highest 1/3 of all wave
heights). Attention should be given on the difference between H1/3 and Hmo
(spectral significant wave height) in shallow waters.
7) The wave breaking can influence the breakwater armour stability.
8) The seabed slope is estimated taking into consideration the mean seabed slope
in front of the structure. In case of non-breaking waves, the seabed slope does
not influenced the calculation results.
9) The bottom level of the armour is the level where the first row of units is placed
(see sketch on the previous page [9]).
10) The upper level of the armour (see sketch on the previous page[10]).

corresponding to the theoretical volume and taking into account the maximum
number of rows along the armour slope.
3) The unit mass is calculated using the standard volume and the concrete
density value provided by the Designer.
4) The unit height is calculated using the CLI unit standard shape .
5) The armour thickness is specified in the CLI standards.

by the Calculator, the bottom and upper armour levels and the armour slope
provided by the Designer.
