Description

Two-Dimensional and Three-dimensional physical scale model tests for the verification of the stability and overtopping  of the  Nacala a Velha harbour causeway.

Objectives

  • Verification of the stability of the rock toe berm.
  • Verification of the overtopping conditions;
  • Verification of the stability of the armou layer of the proposed solution for the harbour causeway;

Results

Quantification of percentage of  falls of the rock units. Overtopping qualification and quantification;  Maesurements of free surface elevation . Video and photo recording for the most relevant aspects ofl the tests.
