Metodologija ocjene stanja kamene zaštite lukobrana

Opisuje se ispitivanje provedeno u svrhu određivanja stanja kamene zaštite (školjere) lukobrana Kaše koji je kroz povijest štitio od morskih valova luku Dubrovnik. Lukobran je oštećen i treba ga sanirati. Osim određivanja stanja školjere ispitivanje je provedeno i radi utvrđivanja valne klime ispred lukobrana. Na temelju dugoročne valne klime definirano je stanje lukobrana u odnosu na projektno. Zaključeno je da školjeru treba zamijeniti ili dodati krupniju na cijelom pokosu.
The testing conducted to determine condition of riprap at Kaše breakwater, which has been protecting Dubrovnik port against wave action through many centuries, is described. The breakwater is damaged and has to be remedied. In addition to inspection of riprap condition, the wave climate in front of the breakwater was also analyzed. The breakwater condition as related to design state was defined based on the long-term wave climate information. It was concluded that riprap must either be replaced or strengthened by adding bigger stone blocks along the entire slope.
