Monitoring Stone Degradation on Coastal Structures in the Great Lakes - Summary Report

Abstract

Stone deterioration on breakwaters and jetties arises from a combination of interactions pertaining to the quality of stone available, operational and handling practices at the quarry, and environmental weathering conditions after placement on the project structure. Four different and distinct investigations were essential to fully comprehend the mechanisms that give rise to chronic premature deterioration of armor stone on breakwaters and jetties around the Great Lakes.
