Dynamic Calculation of the Port Highway of Riprap Quantities
Min Hao Pan, Wei Bing Peng, Yong Wang · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2012
In the construction process of the port highway, riprap quantities are difficult to accurately predict which has bought great difficulties to the riprap vessel to organize construction. Besides, it results in a huge waste of riprap in the construction of the port highway, even leads to the riprap vessel aground during construction process. After predicting the undersea terrain model, we can propose plane model and the basic algorithm .By using the algorithm, it is easy to calculate the amount of engineering in the riprap and the undersea terrain changes after the riprap. So we can get a reasonable dumping location. Finally, compared the predicted results with measured results of the seabed elevation after the riprap, the outcome is basically the same. It provides an effective tool for the construction process of the port highway.
