CROSS SECTION OF THE BREAKWATER HEAD
| The typical cross
section of the breakwater consists of 3 layers, as follows: |
- Outer shielding with natural blocks. At the end cross section
of the breakwater head, natural blocks, of 4,000 - 5,300-kg weight,
are used; on the main body, cross section, natural blocks of stone,
of 2,700 - 4,000-kg weight, are used. The thickness of the layer
is 2.40 m in the area of the end cross section of the breakwater,
while it is limited at 2.20 m on the main body. The outer shielding
in terms of height is finished at the weather side at a depth of
-6.50 m and at the lee side at a depth of -5.50 m.

of the main body of the Breakwater head |
- As planned, the secondary shielding zone consists
of natural blocks, the weight of which ranges from 250 to 450 kg.
The thickness of this layer is at 1.00 m, as scheduled.
- The core of the construction is built with ripraps,
the weight of which varies from 0 to 100 kg. The slope is uniformly
designed at the lee and the weather side of the body, as well as
in the perimeter of the breakwater head equal to 3:2.

CREST
The body crest has
total width B=8.60 m at +1.60 m above see level, i.e. it may be overrun
by the strong western waves. A concrete 2.00-m wide corridor is incorporated
into the body crest.
Breakwater Head C is designed with a round ground plan at +1.60 m
above sea level.
(The entire area is expected to become a location of limited natural
silting upon the completion of the artificial island).
