The invention relates to an underwater modular structure comprising a plurality of modules, at least one connector that interlocks the plurality of modules and a labyrinth defined by contours of at least the plurality of modules. Each module of the underwater modular structure comprises at least one connector insertion opening that is configured to receive a connector therethrough. Further, the at least one connector is an elongate member arranged through at least one connector insertion opening of each of the plurality of modules thereby interlocking the plurality of modules. The labyrinth of such underwater modular structure may at least in part be defined by outer and/or inner contours of the plurality of modules. The invention also relates to a module of or for an underwater modular structure according to the invention. Finally, the invention relates to a method of constructing an underwater modular structure, the method comprising the steps of sinking a plurality of modules to a seabed, each module comprising at least one connector insertion opening, and interlocking the plurality of modules with at least one connector that is an elongate member, by arranging the at least one connector through at least one connector insertion opening of each of the plurality of modules, to form a labyrinth defined by contours of at least the plurality of modules. Such method may further comprise the step of filling at least part of the underwater modular structure with a filler.

A wave generating system is provided. The system includes an enclosure having a base and plurality of sidewalls extending orthogonally upward from edges thereon, wherein a plurality of pistons are disposed over the surface area of the base therein. A covering layer of a waterproof and flexible construction is pivotally affixed to a top end of the plurality of pistons and attached to the plurality of sidewalls. The plurality of pistons is operably connected to a circuit board disposed within a control panel via a grid connection and programmed to create patterns and contours in the covering layer via the plurality of pistons. The patterns of ocean floor conditions ideal for surfing, as well as other geometric patterns, may be programmed and operated using a display screen or remote control.

Systems and methods are disclosed for coastal resiliency amelioration or other flooding amelioration, comprising adding a layer of foamed glass aggregates to a property to raise its elevation, wherein the surcharge on an underlying soil of the property is not increased. In some embodiments, the surcharge on an underlying soil of the property is decreased (e.g., a negative surcharge). Systems and methods are also disclosed for increasing the stormwater storage capacity of a property, comprising, adding a layer of foamed glass aggregates to the property.

A load distributing and absorbing system that lies below a superstructure material which is exposed to percussive forces. The load distributing and absorbing system is interposed between the superstructure material and a foundation. The system has a barrier layer that lies below the superstructure material and an underlayment infrastructure positioned below the barrier layer. Included in the underlayment infrastructure are hat-shaped absorbing members.

Disclosed are a marine ecological engineering construction method, an asphalt cement-based coating, and a preparation method thereof. The asphalt cement-based coating can make discarded concrete have the capacity of inducing the settlement of sessile organisms, achieve the purpose of using discarded concrete to construct ecological engineering, and has the characteristics of discarded object recycling and marine ecological restoration.

A pile clamp can suspend at least one wave-attenuating disk from a floor of a body of water. The pile clamp can include a first curved element and a second curved element. The first curved element can include at least one opening for receiving a mechanical coupling component. The second curved element can include at least one opening for receiving the mechanical coupling component to couple to the first curved element to the second curved element and to a pile of a wave-attenuating pile assembly to suspend the wave-attenuating disk above a floor of a body of water.

A pile guide has a collar with a void therein. A planar flange extends from a side of the collar. A first guide and a second guide form opposing guides constructed and arranged for receiving the planar flange of the pile guide therein. The planar flange is in a slidable relationship within the opposing guides, and the bracket is constructed and arranged for mounting to a dock. The opposing guides pivot relative to the dock during installation and allow pivoting of the pile guide relative to the dock or other mounting. The distance and angle of the collar relative to the dock or other mounting can be adjusted to accommodate for positioning of pile guides due to positioning of piles relative to a dock or other structure.

The present invention discloses an ecological seawall water close side embankment slope drainage structure and a construction method thereof. The ecological seawall water close side embankment slope drainage structure includes a seawall, and further includes a wave dissipation ridge and water collecting wells, wherein the wave dissipation ridge is disposed at an upper side of the seawall, a drainage blind ditch is formed in an upper surface of the seawall, and the drainage blind ditch is matched with the wave dissipation ridge; the water collecting wells are distributed at a lower side of the drainage blind ditch at equal intervals, and lower end portions of the water collecting wells communicate with drainage concealed pipes; and pipe seats are disposed at a lower end portion of an inclined plane of the seawall, lower end portions of the drainage concealed pipes are fixedly connected onto the pipe seats, and flap valves are rotationally connected to lower end surfaces of the drainage concealed pipes. The present invention not only can reduce the erosion degree of sea waves to the seawall, but also can collect seawater going over the wave dissipation ridge and discharge the collected seawater into the sea again.
