패조류용 어초의 안정성에 관한 실험적 연구

The purpose of this study was to investigate the stability of the arched and fan types of artificial reefs, which provide habitatsfor shellfish and seaweed. According to the Froude similitude, paraneters affecting the stability of the artificial reefs were analytically, experimentally studied. First, the design parameters of the artificial reefs in wave and current fields were presented. Then, using dimensionless parameters, such as the surf similarity parameter and water partide speed, the stability of the arched and fan types ofartificial reefs was investigated. From the hydraulic experiments, it is shown that the stability heavily depends on the way the artificial reefs are installed. Therefore, the installation of the artificial reefs on the surf zone should be carefully executed.
