Stability of Articulated Concrete Mattresses for Herbert Hoover Dike Improvements, Lake Okeechobee, Florida. Coastal Model Investigation
The purpose of the model investigation reported herein was to investigate the suitability of articulated concrete mattresses (ACM's) for use at Lake Okeechobee, FL. Due to the absence of significant experience in applying this method of slope protection in a wave environment and the lack of appropriate design criteria, it was decided to investigate the stability response of the ACM's via a large-scale, two-dimensional coastal model. Based on tests conducted, it was concluded that for one layer of ACM's : a. The maximum stable wave height is 3 ft if the mat is secured by top anchors only. b. An addition of three rows of anchors near the still water level (swl) and two rows of toe anchors provides stability for up to 4-ft waves. Keywords: Articulated concrete mattresses; Coastal structures; Hydraulic models. (JES)
