ACCROPODE™ Design Guidelines

The document contains a design table for ACCROPODE structures with different unit volumes and heights. It provides information on the unit dimensions, armour thickness, concrete consumption, number of units per 100 sqm, design wave heights, trunk and roundhead section dimensions, and notes on using the table. The table can be used to select appropriate unit dimensions and thickness based on a given design wave height and seabed slope to inform the structural design of ACCROPODE structures.

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
