Tetrahedra
Tetrahedra
(OP)
Hi Folks:
I'm trying to find a source for marine shoreline erosion control, but I'm really stuck on a specific topic. I don't know how to identify the structure I saw in use on Puget Sound last summer. It's basic shape appeared to be an open tetrahedra. The construction material was concrete. Two or more of the structures can be interlocked forming a very tight integration. Can anyone identify the structure?
Thanks, Tom.

Breakwater structures are used either as shore protection structures or for land reclamation or for harbour basin construction.
Please refer to Shore Protection Manual (SPM) for more details on tetrapods and other breakwater construction elements.
Goodluck.
