Contributor Van Rhee, C. (mentor) Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering Department Marine & Transport Technology Programme Dredging Engineering Date 2012-04-11 Abstract This thesis focuses on the spreading of rocks when installed by a flexible fallpipe vessel. The reason that the spreading of rocks is of interest, is because during installation rocks end up outside their designated areas. Theses rocks do not contribute to the desired design and can therefore assigned as lost. Because of the extend of this subject there has been decided to focus only on the spreading during the descend of a rock from the moment that it leaves the fallpipe until it reaches the bed. Possible bed displacements and the build up of the resulting rock berm are thus not incorporated.
