Abstract
A modular wave-break includes a wall, a tapered base attached to the wall, and an anchor attached to the base. The wall includes a set of dissipating holes integrally formed in the wall and a set of passage holes integrally formed in the wall. A set of eyebolts are connected to the wall. Reinforcing structural rods are embedded in the wall, the tapered base, and the anchor to provide strength. Mounting holes in the tapered base enable the modular wave-break to be secured to a water bottom surface. Multiple modular wave-breaks may be interconnected to form a single wave-break.
Claims20
A modular wave-break comprising:
- a wall further comprising a rear surface;
- a base, further comprising a set of tapered sides and a set of mounting holes integrally formed in the base, attached to the wall;
- an anchor attached to the base;
- a set of dissipating holes integrally formed in the wall;
- and,
- a set of passage holes integrally formed in the wall.
A wave-break system for dissipating a wave comprising:
- a tapered wall;
- a base, further comprising a set of angled sides, attached to the tapered wall and connected to the water bottom surface;
- an anchor attached to the base;
- a center portion integrally formed in the wall;
- a first set of dissipating holes integrally formed in the wall adjacent the center portion;
- a second set of dissipating holes integrally formed in the wall adjacent the center portion, opposite the first set of dissipating holes;
- a first passage hole integrally formed in the wall;
- a second hole integrally formed in the wall;
- whereby the wave is dissipated upon contact with the tapered wall.
A containment wall for separating a sediment area from a water mass and a water bottom surface comprising:
- a set of modular bulkheads, each modular bulkhead of the set of modular bulkheads further comprising:
- a tapered wall;
- an angled base attached to the tapered wall and secured to the water bottom surface;
- an anchor attached to the angled base buried in the water bottom surface;
- a first set of eyebolts connected to the tapered wall;
- and,
- a second set of eyebolts connected to the tapered wall, opposite the first set of eyebolts;
- a geotechnical barrier attached to the tapered wall of each modular bulkhead of the set modular bulkheads;
- a set of connector pins, each connector pin of the set of connector pins inserted through the first set of eyebolts of each modular bulkhead and inserted through the second set of eyebolts of an adjacent modular bulkhead of the set of modular bulkheads;
- and,
- wherein the geotechnical bather is adjacent the sediment area.
