Abstract
The inventive wave dissipating device includes a sea surface sheet to be installed along a sea surface, a sea submergence sheet to be installed below the sea surface sheet generally parallel to the sea surface sheet in sea, and connection ropes connecting the sheets to each other. The sea surface sheet has a predetermined area, and functions as a float to float on the sea surface in an installed state. The sea submergence sheet has the same area as the sea surface sheet When the sea surface sheet is likely to be moved by the tsunami, the sea submergence sheet functions as a weight to prevent the movement of the sea surface sheet, thereby dissipating the wave.
Claims5
A wave dissipating device comprising:
- a flexible sea surface sheet to be installed along a sea surface and having a predetermined area;
- a flexible sea submergence sheet to be installed below the sea surface sheet generally parallel to the sea surface sheet in sea and having a predetermined area;
- a first connection cable member which connects the sea surface sheet to the sea submergence sheet with at least peripheral edge portions of the sea surface sheet and the sea submergence sheet being spaced from each other in generally parallel relation;
- and
- a second connection cable member having opposite ends, one of which is connected to the sea submergence sheet and the other of which is fixed to a sea bottom to retain the sea submergence sheet at an installation position at which the sea submergence sheet is installed in the sea;
- wherein the sea surface sheet functions as a float to float on the sea surface in an installed state;
- wherein the area of the sea submergence sheet is equal to or greater than the area of the sea surface sheet.
A wave dissipating device comprising:
- a flexible water surface sheet to be installed along a water surface and having a predetermined area;
- a flexible water submergence sheet to be installed below the water surface sheet generally parallel to the water surface sheet in water and having a predetermined area;
- a first connection cable member which connects the water surface sheet to the water submergence sheet with at least peripheral edge portions of the water surface sheet and the water submergence sheet being spaced from each other in generally parallel relation;
- and
- a second connection cable member having opposite ends, one of which is connected to the water submergence sheet and the other of which is fixed to a water bottom to retain the water submergence sheet at an installation position at which the water submergence sheet is installed in the water;
- wherein the water surface sheet functions as a float to float on the water surface in an installed state;
- wherein the area of the water submergence sheet is equal to or greater than the area of the water surface sheet.
