Last crawled date: 3 years, 11 months ago

This is a 3D model of a single dolos used to strengthen sea walls against large waves and tsumanis. A dolos (plural dolosse) is a concrete block in a complex geometric shape weighing up to 20 tons, used in great numbers to protect harbour walls from the erosive force of ocean waves. They were developed in East London, a port city in South Africa, in 1963 and are found in millions around the world. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolos) #dolos #tsunami #wave_protection
