    IntroductionPotential breakage of armour stone could be a problem when it is exposed to many rough handling

    events after it is purchased and before it is permanently placed in the breakwater. This could be a

    significant problem when the rock is intended for a dynamically stable structure, for example berm

    breakwaters. Especially the grading of the rock material could be influenced by a negative way dueto breaking and fragmentation of the rock. In this research the process of the rock from the quarry

    until the final positioning at the breakwater has been tried to simulate as much as possible. During

    this process tests are executed and the losses will be determined. Eventually it should a more clear

    view of the breakage of armour stone during the construction stage.

    ScopeProject

    The research is done for the project Constanta Beach Rehabilitation in Romania. The project aims on

    the rehabilitation of beaches by constructing breakwaters and sand nourishment of the beaches. An

    overview of the project can be seen inFigure 1 andFigure 2.

    Figure 1: Overview rehabilitation beaches Tomis

    Figure 2: Overview rehabilitation beaches Efori North

    With the construction of the breakwaters a lot of armour stone has been used. This armour stone

    has been delivered from a quarry a distance away from the project. The project includes theconstruction of 8 emerged breakwaters and 5 submerged breakwaters. In Figure 3, Figure 4 and

    Figure 5 typical cross-sections of the several breakwaters are shown. Visible is that the quantity of

    core material is relatively small compared to the armour layer, in comparison to a larger breakwater.

    Research Question

    The goal of this research is to obtain an understanding about which quantities of what grading are

    lost during the time between purchase and the final positioning of the rock in the structure. Because

    of this lost an additional volume has to be purchased or a higher grading has to be taken into

    account during the design phase. The main research question will be:

    What is the percentage of rock that is lost between purchase and final positioning?

    A side aspect of the research will be to compare an image analysing software (IAS) to do a grading

    test to a physical grading test. If such software could be applied in earlier stages of a project it could

    have a major value. The functioning of such software will be explained in the chapter of theoretical

    framework.

    Theoretical FrameworkBreakage

    If a rock breaks two types of breakage can be identified that will have different effect on the

    degradation. These two types are major breakage and minor breakage. Major breakage refers to

    breakage of individual armour stones along pre-existing defects. In practice this means that the

    broken part of the stone has a mass of at least 10 % of the initial stone mass. If major breakages

    takes place on a significant number of stones, this may significantly affect the mass distribution of

    the armour stone and consequently the value of the design parameters such as and . The

    resistance to major breakage is named integrity. Minor breakage refers to breakage of asperities.

    Often this happens when stone edges or small corners are broken off. The phenomenon has a

    limited impact on the mass distribution and the value.

    Rock Grading

    In Figure 6 the standard grading according to the Rock Manual are shown. In the project asmentioned earlier the armour layer grading used are 1-4 ton and 300-600 kg. In the figure is also the

    shown, the is defined as the average mass of the sample heavier than a fragment[1]. So

    the will differ from the .

    Figure 6: Heavy, Light and Coarse European EN 13383 standard grading requirements. [1]

    By blasting rock from a quarry the percentage fine rocks is significant higher than the fraction of

    armour stone. [1] When small breakwaters are constructed the ratio between small material (core

    and filter) and larger material (armour stone) is more equal than is acquired from the quarry. What

    means that with every tonnage of produced armour stone the residual of small material will be

    significantly higher than when a large breakwater is constructed. Therefore the focus of this research

    will be done on the grading 1-4T, which is the grading of armour stone used on the breakwaters.

    Because rock of the grading 1-4 T is unavailable 1-3 T is used. This will not have any effect on the

    research that is going to be done. InTable 1 the lower and upper limits of the 1-3 T according to the

    rock manual are stated. [1]

    The sample that is used has to exist of at least 90 pieces of rock to be able to execute a proper

    grading test during the different stages of the process. [1] A standard sampling method shall be used

    as described in the EN13383. [2]

    Intrinsic properties

    Intrinsic properties of the rock relate to the properties of the rock source, its geological history or

    the industrial process. [1] The intrinsic properties are determined using laboratory tests. The

    relevant intrinsic properties for this experiment are the single axis compressive strength, the

    resistance to wear and the density of the rock. All properties have been determined by previously

    performed tests. The resistance to wear has been determined by using a Los Angeles method. The

    rock used in the research is coming from different quarries and therefore the sample inlcudes

    multiple kinds of rock. The sample will exist of rock from 3 quarries: Nicolae Balcescu (Limestone),

    Ben-Ari Negev (Basalt) and Hidromineral (Granite). The intrinsic properties can be found inTable 2.

    Image Analysing Software

    The image Analysing software (IAS) determines a size grading on base of a picture taken from the

    sample. When the picture is taken 2 objects with known dimensions have to be placed in the

    stockpile (1 in the front and 1 in the back). The software will identity the individual blocks from the

    image and will make a size distribution based on the 2 reference objects.

    Process

    During the tests the process as executed in reality has been tried to simulate as much as possible.

    During the process from the quarry until the final position in the breakwater there will be some

    critical stages in which the rock is handled by excavators and other equipment. These stages will be

    elaborated in this paragraph and the critical points will be indicated.

    Loading trucks at the Quarry: The first crucial point is when the graded rock is loaded into

    trucks at the quarry for transport to the construction site. The rock stone is loaded by an

    excavator with a bucket and drops into the trailer of the truck, during this process the rocks

    will not be protected. The stage before the grading of the rocks is not relevant for this

    investigation.

    Dumping at the Stockpile: During the transport from the quarry to the construction site the

    rocks are not exposed to major external forces and the fragmentation during the transport

    will therefore be negligible. The next critical point in the process will be the dumping of the

    rock from the quarry on the stockpiles on site. The trucks will tilt their trailer and the rock

    slides out and will make impact with the rock from the stockpile.

    Stockpiling: When the rock is in the stockpile it is occasionally moved by an excavator to

    maintain the accessibility of the stockpile, during this procedure the excavator will drive over

    the stockpile using his steel caterpillar tracks. Rock under the tracks will be exposed to an

    larger force.

    Loading from Stockpile: When the rock is transported to the breakwater it will be loaded

    into dump trucks by an excavator. Again the rock will be exposed to an additional impact.

    Dumping at/in Breakwater: When the rock arrives at the breakwater the rock will be

    dumped directly in the water or on the already constructed part of the breakwater. Positioning/profiling Armour Layer by Excavator: After the dump the final step will be the

    positioning of the armour layer of an excavator with a bucket. When this step is completed

    the armour layer will be in its final position and will no longer be exposed to major impact

    forces caused by handling.

    Test PhaseInAppendix A: Test Phase a more detailed description of the process executed during the test phase

    is given. During the test phase has been tried to simulate the process as described above as much as

    possible. In this chapter a small summary will be given. The following steps were executed:

    Acquiring Sample

    In this step the sample has been acquired according to methods of the EN13383. The number of

    stones used is 90.

    Initial Grading Test

    During this step the initial grading test was executed. Also were the individual stones numbered and

    the dimensions were measured.

    Loading/Dumping

    The first loading and dumping step simulated the rock brought from the quarry. During this step the

    rock was loaded on a dump truck and after that dumped on a different place.

    Stockpiling

    After the first dump the stockpiling has been done by a wheel loader. In this step the wheel loader

    piles the stones into a more compact pile.

    Loading Trucks/ Weighing Bridge

    The next step is the loading of the trucks which passed over the weighing bridge to determine the

    intermediate mass loss

    Dumping

    The trucks dump the sample again, which simulates the stage in which the dumpers dump the

    material on the breakwater.

    Profiling

    An excavator profiles the individual stones as it should be done on the breakwater.

    Final Grading Test

    The last step in the final grading test. With this test the profiled stones are again weight individual.

    Intermediate Weighing Moment

    The intermediate weighing moment shows the weight of the rock as measured on the weighing

    bridge. 2 trucks are used from which the several weights are shown inTable 4 Including the empty

    weights as a reference value. The losses in this stage are only losses by fragmentation (minor

    breakage). The leftovers will also be left over at the

    Final Grading Test

    During the final grading test the weight of every single rock has been determined again. This time

    dimensions of the rock are disregarded. The individual results can be found in. In Figure 8 the

    grading curve is shown as a result of the grading test. Also the obtained values shown inTable 5

    The number of blocks measured in this test increased from 90 pieces till 105 pieces. Also pieces

    below 650 kg were weighted and later used as fragments in the determination of the grading curve.

    As shown in the curve and the table the percentage of stones smaller than 1000 kg is larger than the

    tolerated amount. The grading shown inFigure 8 is no longer a 1000-3000 kg grading.

    ConclusionFragmentation

    From the test results can be concluded that the lost due to fragmentation (minor breakage) of this

    process is the difference between the total mass of the both grading tests:

    However the final grading test shows a grading that is no longer representative for a 1000-3000 kg

    grading. SeeFigure 12.To make the sample a proper 1000-3000 kg grading again stones from the

    lower weight regions have to be removed (degraded). Removing the stones smaller than 750 kg will

    bring the grading back within the limits of the 1000 3000 kg.Table 8shows the new parameters of

    the sample.

    Table 8: Final Grading After Degradation

    The lost due to degradation (major breakage) will be another 8.3 tons. The percentage of lost due to

    degradation will be:

    This brings the total of losses at 11.3 %. It should be kept in mind that 4.9 % can be reused in a other

    grading. FromFigure 12 can be concluded that even if you grade your grading back to a proper 1000-

    3000 kg grading the grading curve will always be more steep than was in the initial state. It should be

    kept in mind during this conclusion stage that the sample used for the test is already exposed to

    breakage a couple of time compared to fresh rock from the quarry.

    Image Analysing Software

    The results from the Image analysing software are not accurate as shown inFigure 11.The strange

    grading curve can be explained by the fact that most of the stones are covered by other stones andtherefore the software only sees a part of it. The grading is therefore much smaller as it supposed to

    be. The software will probably function much better on a sample with a smaller grading, because the

    dimensions of the rock are more similar.

    RecommendationFragmentation Test

    The location of the test could be improved to receive a more realistic value. The rock used in the

    sample during this test was already handled multiple times and therefore it was already exposed to

    breakage. In reality the quarry would be a better location to execute the test.

    After the test some aspect could be improved for similar next tests. By acquiring the sample the

    stockpile existed of different kinds of rocks which gave a completely general result. To achieve a

    more specific result rock of 1 single kind should be used.

    During the initial grading test the number of the blocks should be done by putting more numbers on

    1 single block, because of the breaking an scratching a lot of numbers were already unidentifiable

    after the first dumping step. At the end only 30% of the blocks could be identified again. This way

    also the L/T-ratio can be checked with the breakage.

    Another point that could be improved is the intermediate weighing moment. To see if every

    dumping moment gives the same fraction of losses the process of dumping, stockpiling and loading

    could be done an additional time. This also matches the reality in which the stone is often picked

    more times than described above.

    Image Analysing Software

    To improve the results achieved by the image analysing software the picture should be taken from a

    bird point of view or at least perpendicular to the sample. This way the major part of the stone willnot be hidden behind the stone in front of it as happened in this research. The pictures used in this

    research were taken from a to flat angle.

    Appendix A: Test PhaseThis Appendix will describe the process that has been followed during the test phase. The process

    existed of several steps with several measuring moments, these steps will here be described in more

    detail.

    1. Acquiring Sample

    The first step was the acquiring of the

    sample. The sample should exist of at

    least 90 pieces, according to the rock

    manual. [1] To guarantee the

    randomness of the sample, the rock

    has been picked from different

    locations from the stockpile. [2] To

    select the rock an excavator is used as

    shown in Figure 13. After the sample

    had been established the initial grading

    test could be executed.

    Figure 13: Acquiring the sample

    2. Initial Grading Test

    The grading test is executed with a

    weighing cell as shown in Figure 14.Before the blocks were separately

    weighted they were numbered and

    measured. The measurements

    determined were the length and the

    thickness. With these the L/T ratio

    was defined in a later stage of the

    process. The length of the rock has

    been defined as the longest side of

    the rock, the thickness is the side

    perpendicular to the length. The

    blocks are lifted using a steel sling and

    special trained riggers to handle the

    sling.Figure 14: Weighing Cell

    3. Loading/Dumping

    The first step of the simulation is the loading and dumping of the sample. The sample has been

    loaded into dump truck, transported to a different location and dumped again. During this process

    some significant damage has been observed. The loading has been done by an excavator using his

    bucket. The dumping of the material has been executed by dump trucks as shown inFigure 18.In

    Figure 19 andFigure 20 results of the breakage after the dumping are shown.

    4. Stockpiling

    The next step in the process is stockpiling the sample. The stockpiling has been done by a wheel

    loader as shown inFigure 22.The result of the stockpiling is shown inFigure 21.

    5. Loading Trucks

    The next step is loading trucks to put them on the weighing bridge to get a first intermediate result.

    Before the trucks were loaded they were weighted empty to have a reference level. In the initial

    method an intermediate measuring moment was planned between the first dumping and the

    stockpiling. However after a conversation with the superintendent on site he explained that both

    steps are not executed separately and therefore the measuring moment between the two steps in

    not relevant for this research.

    After the trucks have been on the weighing bridge the dump the sample again. This step simulates

    the dumping of the rock on the final position/at the breakwater as shown in .

    7. Profiling

    The final stage of the simulation is the profiling. In this stage the excavator placed the blocks in a

    similar as it should be done at the breakwater. In this final stage also an image has been made for

    using the Image analyzing software. The sample as is placed in the current state will be used for the

    final grading test as well.

    8. Final Grading Test

    After the positioning the final grading test was executed in the same way as described by the initial

    grading test. The results of the test are compared with the initial results and the results of the

    intermediate weighing moment. The results will me elaborated in more detail in the chapter results.

    InFigure 30 a stone is shown that is still without breakage however has a high probability to break in

    a next handling step.
