Monitoring of Zeebrugge Breakwaters
From the moment they are constructed, rubble-mound breakwaters are due to be damaged someway. Accepting damage is one of the basic principles of mound breakwaters design. Damage can take place either gradually in time or catastrophically after a major storm. Gradual deterioration of the armour layers or foundation may be unnoticed without the aid of a monitoring program and may ultimately result in the failure of the armour layer, in slope instability or in unacceptable large settlements. By comparison of measurements of the state of the structure at a number of points in time, a monitoring program allows these changes to be identified at an early stage, thus enabling the appropriate maintenance action to be carried out.
