This structural fragility of the dolos can be managed through the careful use of a comprehensive design procedure that permits calculation of a design stress level. The dolos is unique in that analytical methods, as described in this report, can be used to optimize the shape for structural strength, depending on the given design conditions, without significantly affecting the hydrodynamic stability.

. Dolos design procedure based on Crescent City prototype data. Breakwaters; Structural analysis (Engineering); Hydraulic models; Hydraulic structures. Figure 2. Dolos definition sketch 10. This structural fragility of the dolos can be managed through the careful use of a comprehensive design procedure that permits calculation of a design stress level. The dolos is unique in that analytical methods, as described in this report, can be used to optimize the shape for structural strength, depending on the given design conditions, without significantly affecting the hydrodynamic stability. Dolosse can therefore be safely used as long as the in-service structural response can be determined. The primary advantages of the dolos unit can be summarized as follows: a. High hydrodynamic stability and efficient wave energy dissipation. b. High porosity, reducing overtopping. c. Measurement of prototype structural response at Crescent City. d. Much experience with the unit, both in the lab and in the field. e. Ability to optimize shape for hydrodynamic and structural stability. f. Shape is conducive to small-scale structural instrumentation allowing measurement of design stresses in the laboratory. g. Ease in casting, storing, transporting, and placement. h. No members thick enough to produce thermal cracking during Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Melby, Jeffrey A; United States.
