Submerged Breakwater For Use As A Perch For Sand Retention
US Patent:
5238326, Aug 24, 1993
Filed:
Apr 3, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/862852
Inventors:
Richard E. Creter - Flemington NJ
International Classification:
E03B 306
US Classification:
405 25
Abstract:
A breakwater that is formed from a plurality of modules, with each module including a base suitable for supporting the module on the seabed, a gently sloping seaward face extending above the base from one end, and a sloping beachward face extending above the base from the opposite end. The tops of the seaward and backward face meet to form a top section and at the top portion of the beachward face at the top section there is a transversely disposed concave cutout that extends across the beachward face. The cutout causes backwash water to swirl in it which removes a significant amount of the nourishment sand that is in backwash water. The cutout has two spaced apart vertically extending concave channels that connect to respective openings in the top of the module. The concave channels direct backwash water through the openings in the top of the module and these high pressure streams allow backwash water to pass seaward over the breakwater but significantly reduces the amount of nourishment sand in the backwash that passes over the breakwater to seaward.
Anti-Scour Device And Method For Scour Prevention
US Patent:
5924820, Jul 20, 1999
Filed:
Feb 26, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/807110
Inventors:
Richard E. Creter - Flemington NJ
International Classification:
E02B 306
US Classification:
405 25
Abstract:
A device and method for preventing the scouring of sand from the area adjacent to the beachward (shoreward) side of a breakwater. The device is made from flexible, non-corrosive, marine resistant material having a cavity filled with a non-buoyant material. The device is placed on the seabed adjacent to the beachward (shoreward) side of the breakwater and is coupled to the beachward (shoreward) bottom edge of the breakwater. Filter material may be placed between the device and the seabed to further prevent scouring of sand between the non-buoyant material.
Breakwater
US Patent:
5102257, Apr 7, 1992
Filed:
Mar 30, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/501729
Inventors:
Richard E. Creter - Flemington NJ
International Classification:
E02B 304
US Classification:
405 25
Abstract:
A modular artificial reef effective to prevent shoreline erosion is constructed of reef-forming modules placed in side-by-side relation and coupled together to prevent relative movement therebetween. The modules, preferably having a triangular prismatic shape, include a gently sloping seaward face, a beachward face and a base which rests on the sea bottom. The modules are configured to deflect currents, approaching from the sea, away from the beachward face. This configuration prevents currents from flowing at high velocity along the beachward face and toward the beachward toe. Accordingly, scouring of the seabed adjacent to the beachward toe of the artificial reef is minimized or eliminated.
