interlocking capability with adjoining blocks. There has been a continuous
effort by researchers in reshaping the blocks in order to enhance its interlocking capacity as well as increase its KdSecond génération armour units
The second génération armour units can be classified into two types based
on their shape profile,
(i) Simple shape: Similar to the first génération, these simple shape second
génération has the stability factor as weight and to some extend interlocking. The placement pattern is mostly random and in two layers.
Typical examples of CAUs under this category are Tetrapod, Tribar,
Tripod, etc.
