Description

Sofa blocks, marine structures using them, and a construction system for sofa blocks and marine structures using AI.

[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority from Republic of Korea Patent Application No. 10-2024-0118734, dated September 2, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present invention relates to wave-fed blocks that are easy to manufacture, stable to install, easy to construct, and have high wave-fed efficiency, as well as marine structures constructed using the same, as well as wave-fed block construction systems and marine structure construction systems that utilize the same. Specifically, the present invention relates to wave-fed blocks and marine structures that are suitable for solving the problem of edge damage during wave-fed block manufacturing and for improving shape through artificial intelligence machine learning to increase wave-fed efficiency, and wave-fed blocks and marine structure construction systems that utilize the same.

[0003] Wave breakers are structures designed to protect coastal areas from high waves. They are regularly shaped concrete blocks that overlap or interlock to form a bond, absorbing and dissipating wave energy.

[0004] The overall technology of sofa blocks includes design, manufacturing, transportation, installation, and maintenance.

[0005] The design of the wave block determines the optimal shape, size, number, and arrangement of the wave block by considering the wave height (H), wave period (T), wave direction (θ) of the incident wave, and the shape of the coastline or breakwater.

[0006] The production of sofa blocks is done by selecting appropriate materials and mixing ratios, taking into account the strength, durability, and eco-friendliness of concrete, and then pouring them into formwork.

[0007] Transport and installation of sofa blocks includes the process of safely moving and installing them from the manufacturing site to the installation site using barges and cranes.

[0008] To increase the accuracy of the sofa block placement, it includes a positioning process for divers or robots capable of underwater operation.

[0009] Maintenance of sofa blocks involves regularly inspecting them for damage and repairing or replacing any broken or displaced blocks.

[0010] However, conventional technologies for wave-cutting blocks alone have limitations in protecting coastal areas against unexpected waves exceeding design heights due to climate change. Furthermore, due to unprecedented wave heights, previously accumulated experimental and empirical design elements are no longer significantly effective.

[0011] Meanwhile, conventional offshore structures constructed with wave-curved blocks often find that identical wave-curved blocks are not useful in certain areas of the structure. Therefore, some have resorted to using irregularly shaped wave-curved blocks. However, these blocks require separate formwork, which increases manufacturing costs and complicates the manufacturing process, including the need for separate formwork handling.

[0012] Furthermore, considering the ease of formwork removal during the formwork-making process and the fabrication of sofa blocks using formwork, the shape of sofa blocks was previously simplified. However, the edges of simplified sofa blocks were sharp, so parts of the edges were frequently partially damaged due to impact during the installation process.

[0013] The present invention provides a sofa block and marine structure that are easy to manufacture and construct, and that can be stably installed by applying a sofa block of a different shape, and that have high sofa efficiency, a sofa block construction system using the sofa block, and a marine structure construction system.

[0014] The present invention aims to provide a sofa block and a marine structure suitable for shape improvement to increase sofa efficiency through machine learning of artificial intelligence, a sofa block construction system applying the same, and a marine structure construction system.

[0015] The present invention provides a system for constructing a wave block using AI and a system for constructing a marine structure, which calculates a wave ratio corresponding to the shape of a wave block based on information acquired from sensors installed at multiple locations of wave blocks constituting a marine structure, and proposes a model of a wave block having a higher wave ratio through machine learning from such information.

[0016] The technical objectives of the present invention are not limited to the purposes mentioned above. Other objectives and advantages of the present invention not mentioned above can be understood through the following description and will be more clearly understood through the embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, it will be readily apparent that the objectives and advantages of the present invention can be realized by the means and combinations thereof set forth in the claims.

[0017] The present invention provides a marine structure constructed by placing a plurality of sofa blocks.

[0018] The above plurality of sofa blocks include a plurality of basic blocks and a plurality of heteromorphic blocks that are modified versions of the basic blocks. The heteromorphic blocks include at least one of a modified block and a half block.

[0019] The above sofa block includes a body and a plurality of legs extending radially from the body.

[0020] The above basic block includes the body and the plurality of legs.

[0021] The above half block includes the body and the plurality of legs.

[0022] The above-mentioned deformation block includes the body and the plurality of legs.

[0023] The above plurality of legs include three one-sided legs extending radially from an axial first end of the body, and three other-sided legs extending radially from a second end opposite to the axial first end of the body.

[0024] The three one-sided legs and the three other-sided legs extend away from each other with the body in between.

[0025] The azimuth angles of the direction in which the three one-sided legs extend with respect to the central axis of the body and the azimuth angles of the direction in which the three other-sided legs extend with respect to the central axis of the body are arranged to be misaligned with each other.

[0026] In a specific form, the three one-sided legs and the three other-sided legs of the basic block may be formed at 120-degree intervals along the circumference of the body, respectively. In addition, the angle between the orientation of one side leg and the orientation of the other side leg may be 60 degrees. In addition, the body may have a shape in which the same shape is repeated at 60-degree intervals along the circumference.

[0027] For example, the cross-section of the body viewed in the axial direction may be substantially a regular hexagon, a regular dodecagon, or a circle. For example, the shapes of the three one-sided legs and the three other-sided legs may correspond to each other.

[0028] The above half block includes a body extending axially and three legs extending radially from the body.

[0029] The above three legs extend axially away from the body.

[0030] That is, the above half block may be a form in which the body of the basic block is divided at the center in the axial direction.

[0031] Therefore, when manufacturing a half block, it is possible to divide the formwork for manufacturing the basic block into two parts based on the center of the body's axis and use one of the divided parts. In other words, both the basic block and the half block can be manufactured using the same formwork.

[0032] Accordingly, the shape of the body of the half block can correspond to the shape of half of the body of the basic block in the axial direction.

[0033] The above deformation block includes a body extending in an axial direction and a plurality of legs extending radially from the body.

[0034] The above plurality of legs include three one-sided legs extending radially from an axial first end of the body, and three other-sided legs extending radially from a second end opposite to the axial first end of the body.

[0035] The three one-sided legs and the three other-sided legs extend away from each other with the body in between.

[0036] The azimuth angles of the direction in which the three one-sided legs extend with respect to the central axis of the body and the azimuth angles of the direction in which the three other-sided legs extend with respect to the central axis of the body are arranged to correspond to each other.

[0037] In other words, the above-mentioned deformation block may be a shape in which the body of the basic block is twisted 60 degrees in the circumferential direction from the center of its axial direction. Then, the shape of the body may be the same, while the azimuth angles of one leg and the other leg may correspond to each other.

[0038] Accordingly, the shape of the body of the basic block and the shape of the body of the modified block can correspond to each other.

[0039] Therefore, when manufacturing a deformation block, if the formwork for manufacturing the basic block is divided into two based on the center of the body's axis, both the basic block and the deformation block can be manufactured using the same formwork.

[0040] Meanwhile, the cross-sectional shape of the body and legs as viewed in the extension direction may be a substantially regular hexagon with chamfered corners. The chamfer may be composed of one face or two faces extending along the length of the corners.

[0041] In a chamfer composed of two faces, the angle between the two faces, which is the chamfer angle, can be greater than 120 degrees and less than 180 degrees. For example, if the chamfer is composed of one face, the interior angle of the two ends of the chamfer face can be 150 degrees. On the other hand, if the chamfer is composed of two faces and the interior angle between the two faces is 163.3 degrees, the interior angle of the two ends of the two faces can also be 163.3 degrees. Then, the interior angle is flatter than that of a single chamfer face, which can further increase damage resistance.

[0042] The present invention provides a marine structure constructed using the above sofa blocks.

[0043] The above marine structures include all structures that can be constructed by applying different-shaped breakwater blocks, such as breakwaters, quay walls, and submerged barriers.

[0044] In the above marine structure, the half block can be installed so that three legs are supported on the ground.

[0045] In the above marine structure, the basic block may be placed so that one leg on one side and two legs on the other side are supported on the ground. Since the shapes of the one leg and the other leg are both identical, when the basic block is placed on the ground as described above, the body of the basic block can assume a posture in which it is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the ground.

[0046] In the above marine structure, the basic block may be installed so that three of its single legs are supported on the ground.

[0047] In the above marine structure, the deformation block may be installed such that three of its one-sided legs are supported on the ground. When such a deformation block is installed such that its three one-sided legs are supported by the ground as described above, the three other-sided legs may be arranged to face upward, and the axial direction of the body may be perpendicular to the ground. In addition, since the azimuths of the three one-sided legs and the three other-sided legs correspond to each other, two of the one-sided legs and two of the other-sided legs may be arranged adjacent to the vertically extended side wall, or one of the one-sided legs and one of the other-sided legs may be arranged adjacent to the side wall.

[0048] In the above marine structure, the deformation block may be installed such that two of its one leg and two of its other leg are supported on the ground. For example, considering installing the deformation block on the ground, two of its one leg and two of its other leg may be supported by the ground. Since the shapes of both of its one leg and its other leg are identical, when the deformation block is installed on the ground as described above, the body of the deformation block can assume a posture parallel to the ground.

[0049] The above marine structure may be a structure whose foundation surface is the seabed, slope, or ceiling. For example, the above marine structure may be a breakwater or a quay wall.

[0050] In the above marine structure, the half block is placed on the seabed, and the basic block can be placed on the slope from the boundary between the seabed and the slope. The half block is placed so that three legs are supported on the ground and can maintain a stable placement posture, and accordingly, the basic block placed on the slope is stably supported at the bottom of the slope by the half block, and can maintain a stable placement state over the entire slope.

[0051] If necessary, the above basic block may be further installed in some sections of the ceiling surface at the boundary between the slope and the ceiling surface.

[0052] At the rear of the above-mentioned cross-section, a wall extending upward from the above-mentioned cross-section may be provided.

[0053] The above-mentioned deformation block may be mounted on the above-mentioned surface, and may be mounted such that one leg on one side and one leg on the other side are both adjacent to the upper wall, or may be mounted such that two legs on one side and two legs on the other side are both adjacent to the upper wall.

[0054] Accordingly, the gap between the wall and the sofa block, which cannot be resolved by placing a basic block between the sofa block and the upper wall for constructing the marine structure, is eliminated, and the sofa block and the upper wall are brought into close contact, thereby constructing a strong marine structure.

[0055] Above all, such offshore structures can be constructed by aligning the most appropriate block for each location, while simultaneously integrating heterogeneous blocks into a unified basic block, deformed block, and half-block. Furthermore, the advantage of this structure is that, compared to the basic block, the deformed block and half-block, which require smaller quantities, can be manufactured on-site using the formwork used to manufacture the basic block, eliminating the need for separate formwork.

[0056] In the above marine structure, the half blocks are arranged in a row along the width direction, and a half block in a first position with one leg facing the slope and a half block in a second position with two legs facing the slope can be arranged alternately.

[0057] The foundation of the seabed constructed by half blocks in this way can be constructed in one stage or in two or more stages as needed.

[0058] In the first stage, the half blocks of the first posture and the half blocks of the second posture are arranged alternately, and in the second stage, which is placed further back, the half blocks of the first posture and the half blocks of the second posture are also arranged alternately, and when viewed in the front-back direction, the half blocks of the first posture are arranged in a row and the half blocks of the second posture are arranged in a row.

[0059] In contrast, in the first stage, the half blocks of the first posture and the half blocks of the second posture are arranged alternately, and in the second stage, which is placed further back, the half blocks of the second posture and the half blocks of the first posture are arranged alternately, so that the half blocks of the first posture and the half blocks of the second posture can be arranged alternately even when viewed in the front-back direction.

[0060] In the above marine structure, the basic block is installed at the rear of the half block.

[0061] The basic blocks adjacent to the half blocks, which are arranged on the slope side of the half blocks, may be arranged such that a first-position basic block is placed so that one leg faces the first leg of the first-position half block in the front-back direction, and a second-position basic block is placed so that two other legs face the two legs of the second-position half block in the front-back direction, and are arranged alternately along the width direction.

[0062] That is, the body of the basic block can be placed in a forward-backward direction parallel to the slope direction of the slope. In addition, the basic block of the first posture and the basic block of the second posture can be aligned and placed in a forward-backward direction along the slope of the slope, respectively.

[0063] In this way, at each stage of the slope, the basic blocks of the first posture and the basic blocks of the second posture are arranged alternately, and the basic blocks of the first posture can be aligned in a row along the slope direction of the slope, and the basic blocks of the second posture can be aligned in a row next to it.

[0064] The above deformation blocks mounted on the cross-section may be mounted such that a deformation block of the first posture is mounted such that one side leg faces between the two other side legs of the basic block of the first posture, and a deformation block of the second posture is mounted such that the two side legs face between the one side leg of the basic block of the second posture, and are alternately arranged along the width direction.

[0065] Accordingly, the two one-sided legs and the two other-sided legs of the deformation block of the first posture can all be arranged adjacent to the upper wall in the same manner, and the one one-sided leg and the one other-sided leg of the deformation block of the second posture can all be arranged adjacent to the upper wall in the same manner.

[0066] Meanwhile, the above marine structure can be two-layered. The two-layered wave-cutting blocks can be basic blocks. In this case, the half-blocks placed on the seabed can firmly support the two-layered wave-cutting blocks.

[0067] The basic blocks to be stacked in two layers are a basic block in a third posture in which the body of the half block in the first posture is placed between two other legs and one side leg is supported on the body of the basic block in the first posture placed on the first floor, and a basic block in a fourth posture in which the body of the basic block in the second posture placed on the first floor and one side leg is supported on the body of the half block in the second posture placed on the first floor between two other legs, and are alternately placed and stacked in the width direction to form a two-layer structure.

[0068] In addition, the basic blocks of the third posture and the basic blocks of the fourth posture of the two-layer stacked structure can be aligned and placed in the front-back direction along the slope of the slope on the basic blocks of the first posture and the second posture of the one-layer stacked structure, respectively. In other words, the basic blocks of the two-layer stacked structure can be placed in a complementary direction to the basic blocks of the single-layer stacked structure that are stacked underneath them. In other words, the alignment directions of the basic blocks of the first and second layers can be opposite to each other.

[0069] The above marine structure may be a structure with a mound on the seabed as its foundation. For example, the above marine structure may be submerged.

[0070] The above half blocks can be installed in one or more stages adjacent to each other in the front-back direction.

[0071] The above basic blocks can be installed in one or more stages adjacent to each other in the front-back direction.

[0072] The above one-stage or multiple-stage half blocks and the above one-stage or multiple-stage basic blocks can be arranged alternately in the front-back direction.

[0073] Above all, such offshore structures can be constructed by integrating various types of wave-blocks into a unified basic block and half-block structure, while simultaneously addressing the varying technical requirements of each wave-block placement location. Furthermore, the ability to flexibly fabricate half-blocks on-site using formwork for the basic block fabrication eliminates the need for separate formwork to manufacture smaller quantities of half-blocks compared to the basic block.

[0074] In the above marine structure, the half blocks are arranged in a row along the width direction, and a half block in a third position with one leg placed forward and a half block in a fourth position with two legs placed forward can be arranged alternately.

[0075] The above half blocks can be installed in multiple stages, directly adjacent to each other or intervening with the basic blocks in the front-back direction.

[0076] In the above marine structure, when viewed in the forward / rearward direction, half blocks in the third position can be arranged in a row, and half blocks in the fourth position can be arranged in a row.

[0077] In the above marine structure, the basic blocks may be alternately arranged along the width direction, such as a basic block in the fifth position with one leg positioned forward and a basic block in the sixth position with two legs positioned forward.

[0078] The above basic blocks can be installed in multiple stages, directly adjacent to each other in the front-back direction, or with the half blocks interposed between them.

[0079] In the above marine structure, when viewed in the forward / rear direction, the basic blocks of the fifth position can be arranged in a row, and the basic blocks of the sixth position can be arranged in a row.

[0080] The above basic block may be positioned forward or backward relative to the half block so as to be adjacent to the half block in the front-back direction, but the basic block of the fifth posture may be positioned forward or backward relative to the half block of the third posture, and the basic block of the sixth posture may be positioned forward or backward relative to the half block of the fourth posture.

[0081] The above half block may be positioned forward or backward relative to the basic block so as to be adjacent to the basic block in the front-back direction, and the half block of the third posture may be positioned forward or backward relative to the basic block of the fifth posture, and the half block of the fourth posture may be positioned forward or backward relative to the basic block of the sixth posture.

[0096] On top of the above first floor, a third-position basic block and a fourth-position basic block can be placed to form a second floor.

[0099] The basic blocks of the third posture and the basic blocks of the fourth posture can be arranged alternately along the width direction.

[0100] In the first section, the basic blocks of the first posture and the basic blocks of the second posture can be aligned along the slope direction of the slope to extend the first floor.

[0101] On the first floor configured as an extension, the basic blocks of the third posture and the basic blocks of the fourth posture can be aligned and arranged along the slope direction of the slope, respectively.

[0102] In the second section, the deformation block can be placed so that the three one-sided legs are supported on the ground.

[0103] In some embodiments, the plurality of deformation blocks may be placed in the second section.

[0109] The above second section is arranged on the ceiling surface, and the upper wall of the ceiling surface can be arranged at the rear of the second section.

[0110] The two one-sided legs and the two other-sided legs of the deformation block of the first posture can be adjacent to or in contact with the upper wall, and the one one-sided leg and the one other-sided leg of the deformation block of the second posture can be adjacent to or in contact with the upper wall.

[0118] In the first section above, the basic blocks of the fifth posture and the basic blocks of the sixth posture can be arranged alternately along the width direction.

[0125] The shape of the cross-section of the body and legs of the above sofa block cut along a plane perpendicular to the direction of extension may be a regular hexagon with chamfered corners.

[0126] The present invention also provides a sofa block construction system capable of developing a shape model of the body and legs of the sofa block to improve sofa efficiency. The present invention also provides a marine structure construction system capable of developing the installation posture, installation location, and installation structure of a heterogeneous sofa block to improve sofa efficiency. Artificial intelligence can be applied to the construction system.

[0127] The above sofa block construction system and marine structure construction system include the marine structure, the body of the basic block, the deformation block, and the half block, and a sensor installed on the leg, and an information receiving unit that receives measurement information measured by the sensor.

[0128] The above-mentioned AI-applied sofa block and marine structure construction system provides an information storage unit that stores environmental information collected in response to shape information of the body and legs, measurement information, and time information matching the measurement information as input information, and stores sofa rate information of the body and legs calculated in response to the input information as output information.

In other words, the smart sofa block development system can utilize artificial intelligence to determine the above design factors while maintaining the geometric basic shapes of the basic block, the transformed block, and the half block.

[0132] The learning part of the marine structure construction system using AI analyzes input and output information to learn patterns and relationships, and proposes a marine structure with improved damping efficiency by constructing new mounting postures, mounting locations, mounting directions, and mutual mounting structures of heterogeneous damping blocks.

[0133] In addition, the learning part of the AI-applied sofa block and marine structure construction system analyzes input and output information to learn patterns and relationships, thereby proposing a sofa block equipped with a new body and leg shape model with improved sofa rate, and proposing a marine structure with improved sofa rate constructed through new placement postures, placement locations, placement directions, and mutual placement structures of the proposed heterogeneous sofa blocks.

[0135] The above-mentioned mounting location includes the location where the soffit block is mounted in the marine structure. For example, the location may include information such as the seabed, slope, and ceiling surface. In addition, the location may include information that it is partially or fully supported by another soffit block.

[0136] The above-mentioned mounting direction may be information about the direction in which the body of the sofa block is arranged or the direction in which the legs are arranged.

[0137] The above mutual interlocking structure may be information regarding interlocking between the bodies and legs of the two neighboring sofa blocks.

[0138] From another perspective, the present invention provides a construction system that applies AI to a marine structure constructed by placing a plurality of sofa blocks.

[0139] The above construction system includes a sensor, an information receiving unit, an information storage unit, an information processing unit, and a learning unit.

[0140] The above plurality of sofa blocks include a plurality of basic blocks and a plurality of heterogeneous blocks that are modified versions of the basic blocks.

[0141] The basic block includes a body extending axially and a plurality of legs extending radially from the body.

[0142] The above plurality of legs include three one-sided legs extending radially from an axial first end of the body, and three other-sided legs extending radially from a second end opposite to the axial first end of the body.

[0143] The three one-sided legs and the three other-sided legs extend away from each other with the body in between.

[0144] The azimuth angles of the direction in which the three one-sided legs extend with respect to the central axis of the body and the azimuth angles of the direction in which the three other-sided legs extend with respect to the central axis of the body are arranged to be misaligned with each other.

[0145] The above-mentioned heterogeneous block is configured by modifying at least one of the shape of the body and the arrangement of the legs in the basic block.

[0146] The above sensors are installed on the body and legs of the sofa block.

[0147] The above information receiving unit receives measurement information measured by the sensor.

[0148] The above information storage unit stores, as input information, environmental information collected in response to shape information of the body and legs, measurement information, and time information matching the measurement information.

[0149] In one embodiment, a marine structure construction system using AI is provided.

[0150] The above information processing unit can analyze the input information to produce sofa rate information corresponding to the location of the marine structure.

[0151] The above information storage unit can store location-specific sofa ratio information of marine structures calculated in response to the input information as output information.

[0152] The above learning unit can analyze the input information and output information to learn patterns and relationships, thereby suggesting a new structural model of an offshore structure with an improved sofa rate.

[0153] The structural model of the above marine structure may include the placement posture, placement location, placement direction, and mutual placement structure of the sofa blocks.

[0154] In one embodiment, a sofa block construction system using AI is provided.

[0155] The above information processing unit can analyze the input information to calculate the sofa rate information corresponding to the body and legs and the sofa rate information by location of the marine structure.

[0156] The above information storage unit can store, as output information, the sofa rate information of the body and legs calculated in response to the input information and the sofa rate information by location of the marine structure.

[0157] The above learning unit can analyze the input information and output information to learn patterns and relationships, thereby suggesting a new body and leg shape model with improved sofa rate, and suggesting a new marine structure structure model with improved sofa rate.

[0158] The above new marine structure model may include new mounting postures, mounting positions, mounting directions, and mutual mounting structures of the sofa blocks having new body and leg shapes.

[0159] In some examples, the above-mentioned posture may include information about which leg of the sofa block is supported by the ground.

[0160] In some examples, the mounting location may include a location where a sofa block is mounted in an offshore structure.

[0161] In some examples, the mounting direction may include information about the direction in which the body of the sofa block is arranged or the direction in which the legs are arranged.

[0162] In some examples, the interlocking structure may include information regarding the interlocking between the bodies and legs of the two neighboring sofa blocks.

[0163] According to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture heterogeneous sofa blocks using a common formwork, making it easy to manufacture heterogeneous sofa blocks that constitute marine structures.

[0164] According to the present invention, it is possible to flexibly supply sofa blocks of different shapes as required on site, thereby enabling immediate and active response to partial changes that may be made according to on-site conditions.

[0165] According to the present invention, it is possible to construct a marine structure by flexibly applying a heterogeneous sofa block, thereby increasing the strength and sofa efficiency of the marine structure.

[0166] According to the present invention, breakage of the corners of all heterogeneous sofa blocks can be prevented.

[0167] According to the present invention, the gap between the upper wall and the sofa block can be minimized.

[0168] According to the present invention, in order to construct an offshore structure, not only one layer of wave-cut blocks but also two layers can be constructed, and regardless of whether the offshore structure is constructed in two layers or one layer, the method of installing the wave-cut blocks in the first layer can be commonly applied. Furthermore, the method of installing the second layer can also be carried out in a manner equivalent to that of the first layer, thereby providing high field adaptability.

[0169] According to the AI ​​smart wave block and marine structure construction system applied to the wave block and marine structure of the present invention, it is possible to analyze wave behavior corresponding to season, day and night, weather, wind direction, wind speed, and water temperature, and also verify the wave block effect through seawater flow analysis, thereby enabling improved design of the next wave block and the next marine structure.

[0170] According to the sofa block and marine structure construction system using the AI ​​of the present invention, while maintaining the basic structural outline of the basic block, the transformed block, and the half block, decisions regarding relatively clear design elements can be implemented using AI, so that the AI ​​adaptability and usability are high and easy to use.

[0206] In an embodiment of the present invention, the marine structure (40) is implemented as a breakwater. The breakwater can be constructed by arranging breakwater blocks (10). The breakwater blocks (10) can include deformed breakwater blocks of different shapes. The deformed breakwater blocks can include a basic block (10-1) in the shape of a hexagon, a deformed block (10-2) in the shape of a body of the basic block (10-1) rotated by a predetermined angle in the middle portion in the axial direction, and a half block (10-3) in which the body of the basic block (10-1) is divided into half in the axial direction.

[0207] The above breakwater (40) is constructed by placing a breakwater block (10) on the seabed (41), slope (42), and ceiling surface (43).

[0208] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the basic block (10-1) has three legs (30) extending radially outward from each end of the axially extending body (20), and one leg (30) of the axially first end and the other leg (30) of the axially second end extend in a direction away from each other with the body (20) interposed therebetween, and the azimuths of the directions in which the three one-sided legs (30) extend and the azimuths of the directions in which the three other-sided legs (30) extend are arranged so as to be misaligned with respect to the central axis of the body (20).

[0209] The three one-sided legs (30) and the three other-sided legs (30) of the above-mentioned basic block (10-1) are formed at 120-degree intervals along the circumference of the body (20), respectively. In addition, the circumferential angle between the one-sided legs (30) and the other-sided legs (30) is 60 degrees. In addition, the body (20) has a shape in which the same shape is repeated at 60-degree intervals along the circumference.

[0210] For example, the cross-section of the body (20) viewed in the axial direction may be substantially a regular hexagon, a regular dodecagon, or a circle. The embodiment is implemented so that the cross-section of the body (20) has a substantially regular hexagonal shape.

[0211] The above body (20) is extended in the axial direction to have a predetermined body length (20L). The body (20) may have a shape in which the cross-section thereof gradually increases from both ends to the center. Accordingly, both ends of the body (20) may have a horn shape with a predetermined body taper angle (20T).

[0212] In addition, the body (20) may have a cross-sectional shape that is constant along the extension direction from the axial central portion. Accordingly, the axial central portion of the body (20) may be in the form of a column extended by a predetermined central portion length (20C).

[0213] The body cross-sectional area (20A), body length (20L), body taper angle (20T), and central length (20C) of the above body (20) can be adjusted as design elements.

[0214] The above body cross-sectional area (20A) can be defined based on the axial center of the body (20).

[0215] The above body taper angle (20T) may be an acute angle of 0 degrees or more. When the body taper angle (20T) is 0 degrees, the body (20) may have a columnar shape in the entire axial direction.

[0216] The central length (20C) may be 0 or greater and the body length (20L) or less. When the central length (20C) is 0, the body (20) may have a shape in which the wide surfaces of the two horns face each other. When the central length (20C) corresponds to the body length (20L), the body (20) may have a columnar shape in the entire axial direction.

[0217] In this way, the body (20) can be designed by adjusting the above elements. This corresponds to the proposed elements of artificial intelligence described below.

[0218] The shapes of the three legs (30) on one side and the other side correspond to each other. The cross-section of the legs (30) may be circular, regular polygonal, or various other shapes. In the embodiment, the cross-section of the legs (30) when viewed in the extension direction of the legs (30) is implemented so that it is substantially a regular hexagonal shape.

[0219] In the embodiment, the leg (30) is implemented in the form of a regular hexagonal horn having a predetermined leg taper angle (30T) and extending in the direction of its central axis by a predetermined leg length (30L).

[0220] As the leg (30) extends from the body (20), the leg cross-sectional area (30A) of the leg (30) may gradually decrease. The angle (30B) formed between the central axis of the leg (30) and the central axis of the body (20) may be an obtuse angle.

[0221] The leg cross-sectional area (30A), leg length (30L), leg taper angle (30T) and angle (30B) between the leg (30) and the body (20) can be adjusted as design elements.

[0222] The above leg cross-sectional area (30A) can be determined by taking a cross-section perpendicular to the extension direction of the leg (30). The above leg cross-sectional area (30A) can be determined as a cross-sectional area measured at the axial end of the body (20).

[0223] The above leg length (30L) can be determined as the distance from the axial end of the body (20) to the tip of the leg (30) along the central axis of the leg (30).

[0224] The above leg taper angle (30T) can be determined from the angle formed by the circumference of the leg (30) with respect to the central axis of the leg (30).

[0225] The above leg taper angle (30T) may be an acute angle greater than 0 degrees. When the above leg taper angle (30T) is 0 degrees, the leg (30) may be extended in a column shape.

[0226] The angle (30B) between the above body (20) and the above body (20) may be an obtuse angle greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

[0227] In this way, the bridge (30) can be designed by adjusting the above elements. This corresponds to the proposed elements of artificial intelligence, which will be described later.

[0228] In addition, even if the design elements of the body (20) and legs (30) change, the formwork between the heterogeneous sofa blocks can still be shared.

[0229] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the deformation block (10-2) constitutes a heterogeneous sofa block that is a deformation of the basic block (10-1).

[0230] The deformation block (10-2) has three legs (30) extending radially outward from each end of the axially extending body (20), and one leg (30) of the axially first end and the other leg (30) of the axially second end extend in a direction away from each other with the body (20) interposed therebetween, and the azimuths of the directions in which the three one-sided legs (30) extend and the azimuths of the directions in which the three other-sided legs (30) extend are arranged so as to correspond to each other with respect to the central axis of the body (20).

[0231] The three one-sided legs (30) and the three other-sided legs (30) of the above-mentioned deformation block (10-2) are formed at 120-degree intervals along the circumference of the body (20), respectively. In addition, the azimuth angles of the one-sided legs (30) and the other-sided legs (30) with respect to the central axis of the body (20) correspond to each other. In addition, the body (20) has a shape in which the same shape is repeated at 60-degree intervals along the circumference direction.

[0232] The above-described deformation block (10-2) may be formed by rotating the body (20) of the basic block (10-1) by 60 degrees in the circumferential direction from its axial center. Then, the shape of the body (20) may be the same, while the azimuth angles of one leg (30) and the other leg (30) may correspond to each other.

[0233] Therefore, when manufacturing a deformation block (10-2), if the formwork for manufacturing a basic block (10-1) is divided into two based on the center of the axial direction of the body (20), both the basic block (10-1) and the deformation block (10-2) can be manufactured using the same formwork.

[0234] Referring to FIGS. 5 to 7, the half block (10-3) constitutes another heterogeneous sofa block that is a modified version of the basic block (10-1).

[0235] The above half block (10-3) has three legs (30) extending radially outward from the first end of the body (20) extending in the axial direction, and the three legs (30) extend in a direction away from the body (20). That is, the above half block (10-3) may be in the form of the body (20) of the basic block (10-1) being cut and divided into a plane perpendicular to the axial direction from the axial center.

[0236] Accordingly, in manufacturing a half block (10-3), it is possible to divide the formwork for manufacturing a basic block (10-1) into two parts based on the axial center of the body (20) and use one of the divided parts. In other words, both the basic block (10-1) and the half block (10-3) can be manufactured using the same formwork.

[0237] Accordingly, the shape of the body (20) of the half block (10-3) can correspond to the shape of half of the body (20) of the basic block (10-1) in the axial direction.

[0238] The upper part of the body (20) of the above half block (10-3), i.e., the edge of the cut part, is chamfered (10C) as shown. The dimension of the chamfer (10C) may be smaller than half of the length (20C) of the central part of the body (20).

[0239] Meanwhile, in the sofa block (10) of the embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the body (20) and the leg (30) when viewed in the extension direction is implemented in the form of a substantial regular hexagon with chamfered corners (10C). The chamfer (10C) may be composed of one surface as implemented on the edge of the upper surface of the body (20) in FIG. 5, or may be composed of two surfaces extending along the longitudinal direction of the corners provided on the circumferential surface of the body (20) as illustrated in FIG. 7.

[0240] Referring to Fig. 7, in a chamfer (10C) composed of two faces, the chamfer angle (10B), which is the angle formed by the two faces, may be greater than 120 degrees and less than 180 degrees. For example, if the chamfer (10C) is composed of one face, the internal angles of both ends of the chamfer (10C) face provided at the corners of the circumferential surface of a regular hexagonal column or a regular hexagonal truncated cone may be 150 degrees. On the other hand, as illustrated in Fig. 5, if the chamfer (10C) is composed of two faces and the chamfer angle (10B) is 163.3 degrees, the internal angles of both ends of the two faces may also be 163.3 degrees. Then, the internal angles of each face are flatter than when the chamfer face is composed of one, so that the damage resistance can be further increased.

[0241] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 8 to 19, a breakwater will be described as a first embodiment of a marine structure (40) constructed by applying the above-described wave-block (10). In the first embodiment, the breakwater is implemented in an upright form with one or two layers of wave-block (10) covering it. However, the type of the marine structure (40) is not limited thereto. The marine structure (40) includes all types of marine structures (40) constructed by placing wave-block (10), such as breakwaters, quay walls, and submerged jetties.

[0242] In the above marine structure (40), the half block (10-3) may be installed so that three legs (30) are supported on the ground. In an embodiment, the half block (10-3) may be installed on the seabed (41).

[0243] In the above marine structure (40), the basic block (10-1) can be placed so that one side leg (30) and two other side legs (30) are supported on the ground. Since the shape of the one side leg (30) and the shape of the other side leg (30) are both the same, when the basic block (10-1) is placed on the ground as above, the body (20) of the basic block (10-1) can have a posture inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the ground. In an embodiment, the basic block (10-1) can be placed on the boundary between the seabed (41) and the slope (42), the slope (42), the boundary between the slope (42) and the top surface (43), and / or the top surface (43).

[0244] In the above marine structure (40), the deformation block (10-2) can be installed so that three one-sided legs (30) are supported on the ground.

[0245] For example, considering placing the above-described deformation block (10-2) on the ground, two one-side legs (30) and two other-side legs (30) of the deformation block (10-2) can be supported by the ground. Since the shapes of the one-side legs (30) and the other-side legs (30) are both the same, when the deformation block (10-2) is placed on the ground as above, the body (20) of the deformation block (10-2) can have a posture parallel to the ground.

[0246] When this deformation block (10-2) is placed so that the three one-side legs (30) are supported by the ground as above, the three other-side legs (30) can be arranged to face upward, and the axial direction of the body (20) can be perpendicular to the ground. In addition, since the azimuths of the three one-side legs (30) and the three other-side legs (30) correspond to each other, two one-side legs (30) and two other-side legs (30) can be placed adjacent to the vertically extended side wall, or one one-side leg (30) and one other-side leg (30) can be placed adjacent to the side wall. In an embodiment, the deformation block (10-2) can be placed on the ceiling surface (43).

[0247] In the above marine structure (40), the half block (10-3) is installed on the seabed (41), and the basic block (10-1) can be installed on the slope (42) from the boundary between the seabed (41) and the slope (42). If necessary, the basic block (10-1) can be installed on a portion of the slope (42) and the ceiling surface (43) at the boundary between the slope (42) and the ceiling surface (43).

[0248] The above half block (10-3) is placed so that its three legs (30) are supported on the ground, and thus can maintain a stable placement posture. Accordingly, the basic block (10-1) placed on the slope (42) is stably supported at the bottom of the slope (42) by the half block (10-3), and can maintain a stably placed state on the entire slope (42).

[0249] The above deformation block (10-2) is mounted on the above-mentioned cross-section (43). The above-mentioned deformation block (10-2) can be mounted on the rear of the above-mentioned basic block (10-1).

[0250] At the rear of the above-mentioned ceiling surface (43), a top wall (44) extending upward from the above-mentioned ceiling surface (43) is provided. The above-mentioned deformation block (10-2) is installed in front of the above-mentioned ceiling wall (44). Due to its unique shape, the above-mentioned deformation block (10-2) is installed such that one leg (30) and one leg (30) of the other side are both adjacent to the top wall (44), or two legs (30) of the one side and two legs (30) of the other side are both adjacent to the top wall (44).

[0251] Accordingly, the gap between the wall and the sofa block (10), which cannot be resolved by placing the basic block (10-1) between the sofa block (10) and the upper wall (44) for constructing the marine structure (40), is eliminated, and the sofa block (10) and the upper wall (44) are brought into close contact, thereby constructing a strong marine structure (40).

[0252] Above all, the above marine structure (40) can be constructed by implementing the different types of sofa blocks (10) into a unified basic block (10-1), a deformation block (10-2), and a half block (10-3) while responding to the different technical demands required for each location where the sofa blocks (10) are installed, and installing the sofa blocks (10) most suitable for the technical requirements at the corresponding location. Furthermore, there is an advantage in that the deformation blocks (10-2) and half blocks (10-3) can be flexibly manufactured on site using a formwork for manufacturing the basic block (10-1) without the need for a separate formwork to manufacture the deformation blocks (10-2) and half blocks (10-3) required in smaller quantities compared to the basic block (10-1).

[0253] Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, in the marine structure (40), the half blocks (10-3) are arranged in a row along the width direction, and a first-position half block (10-3-1) in which one leg (30) is placed in a direction facing the slope (42) and a second-position half block (10-3-2) in which two legs (30) are placed in a direction facing the slope (42) are arranged and placed alternately along the width direction. The embodiment exemplifies that the foundation stage of the seabed (41) constructed with the half blocks (10-3) is implemented as a single stage.

[0254] The foundation of the seabed (41) constructed by the above half block (10-3) is constructed in one stage or in two or more stages as needed.

[0255] In one embodiment, the half blocks (10-3) are arranged alternately in the first stage with the half blocks (10-3-1) in the first position and the half blocks (10-3-2) in the second position, and in the second stage located further rearward with the half blocks (10-3-1) in the first position and the half blocks (10-3) in the 21st position are arranged alternately, so that when viewed in the front-back direction, the half blocks (10-3-1) in the first position are arranged in a row and the half blocks (10-3-2) in the second position are arranged in a row.

[0256] According to another embodiment, in the first stage, the half blocks (10-3-1) of the first posture and the half blocks (10-3-2) of the second posture are arranged alternately, and in the second stage, which is placed further rearward, the half blocks (10-3-2) of the second posture and the half blocks (10-3-1) of the first posture are arranged alternately, so that even when viewed in the front-back direction, the half blocks (10-3-1) of the first posture and the half blocks (10-3-2) of the second posture are arranged alternately.

[0257] In the above marine structure (40), the basic block (10-1) is installed at the rear of the half block (10-3).

[0258] Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the basic block (10-1) adjacent to the half block (10-3) and arranged on the slope (42) side of the half block (10-3) is arranged such that the first posture basic block (10-1-1) is placed so that one leg (30) supported on the ground faces the one leg (30) of the first posture half block (10-3-1) in the front-back direction, and the second posture basic block (10-1-2) is placed so that two legs (30) supported on the ground face the two legs (30) of the second posture half block (10-3-2) in the front-back direction, and are arranged alternately along the width direction.

[0259] One of the other leg (30) extending upward from the front of the basic block (10-1-2) of the second posture can be adjacent to or in contact with the upper edge of the body (20) of the half block (10-3-2) of the second posture placed in front thereof.

[0260] Referring to FIGS. 12 to 15, the body (20) of the basic block (10-1) is placed parallel to the slope direction of the slope (42) in the front-back direction. In addition, the basic block (10-1-1) of the first posture and the basic block (10-1-2) of the second posture are respectively aligned and placed in the front-back direction along the slope of the slope (42).

[0261] In this way, at each stage of the slope (42), the basic blocks (10-1-1) of the first posture and the basic blocks (10-1-2) of the second posture are arranged alternately, and the basic blocks (10-1-1) of the first posture are aligned in a row along the slope direction of the slope (42), and the basic blocks (10-1-2) of the second posture are aligned in a row next to it.

[0262] The basic block (10-1) is further installed in a portion of the ceiling surface (43) adjacent to the above-mentioned slope (42). At this time, the posture of the basic block (10-1) installed on the ceiling surface (43) follows the posture of the basic block (10-1) placed forward. That is, in the ceiling surface (43), the basic block (10-1-1) in the first posture and the basic block (10-1-2) in the second posture are alternately placed in the width direction.

[0263] Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17, the deformation block (10-2) mounted on the ceiling surface (43) is mounted such that the deformation block (10-2-1) of the first posture is mounted such that one side leg (30) faces between the two other side legs (30) of the basic block (10-1-1) of the first posture, and the deformation block (10-2-2) of the second posture is mounted such that the two side legs (30) face between the one side leg (30) of the basic block (10-1-2) of the second posture, and are alternately arranged along the width direction.

[0264] Accordingly, the two one-side legs (30) and the two other-side legs (30) of the deformation block (10-2-1) of the first posture are all arranged adjacent to the upper wall (44) in the same manner, and the one one-side leg (30) and the one other-side leg (30) of the deformation block (10-2-2) of the second posture are all arranged adjacent to the upper wall (44) in the same manner.

[0265] Meanwhile, the above marine structure (40) can be two-layered.

[0266] Referring to Figures 18 and 19, the basic block (10-1) of the above marine structure (40) is stacked in two layers. At this time, the half block (10-3) placed on the seabed (41) firmly supports the two-layered wave block (10).

[0267] The two-layer basic block (10-1) is formed by alternately arranging and arranging the body (20) of the first-position half block (10-3-1) between two other-side legs (30) and supporting the body (20) of the first-position basic block (10-1-1) mounted on the first floor, the third-position basic block (10-1-3), which is mounted so that one side leg (30) is supported on the body (20) of the first-position basic block (10-1-1), which is mounted so that one side leg (30) is supported on the body (20) of the second-position half block (10-3-2), and the second-position basic block (10-1-2) mounted on the first floor, the two-layer basic block (10-1-4), which is mounted so that one side leg (30) is supported on the body (20) of the second-position half block (10-3-2), and the two other-side legs (30) are mounted on the first floor, the four-position basic blocks (10-1-4) being alternately arranging and arranging the body (20) of the second-position basic block (10-1-2) being mounted on the first floor, the two-layer basic blocks being mounted on the first floor, the two-layer basic blocks being mounted on the first floor, the two-layer basic blocks being mounted on the first floor, the two-layer basic blocks being mounted on the second ...

[0268] That is, the basic block (10-1-3) of the third posture is placed on the half block (10-3-1) of the first posture and the basic block (10-1-1) of the first posture, and the basic block (10-1-4) of the fourth posture is placed on the half block (10-3-2) of the second posture and the basic block (10-1-2) of the second posture. In addition, the two-layered basic block (10-1-3) of the third posture and the basic block (10-1-4) of the fourth posture are arranged in a forward-rearward direction along the inclination of the slope (42) on the one-layered basic block (10-1-1) of the first posture and the basic block (10-1-2) of the second posture, respectively.

[0269] The two-layered basic blocks (10-1) are placed in a complementary direction to the single-layered basic blocks (10-1) that are stacked underneath them. In other words, the alignment directions of the one-layered basic blocks (10-1) and the two-layered basic blocks (10-1) are opposite to each other. Specifically, the basic block (10-1-1) in the first posture has one leg (30) supported on the ground facing forward, and the basic block (10-1-3) in the third posture has one leg (30) supported by the first-layered bending block facing rearward. Similarly, the basic block (10-1-2) in the second posture has one leg (30) supported on the ground facing rearward, and the basic block (10-1-4) in the fourth posture has one leg (30) supported by the first-layered bending block facing forward.

[0270] Referring to the following Figures 20 to 25, a submerged structure (40) constructed by applying the sofa block (10) will be described as an embodiment.

[0271] In the above-mentioned submergence (40), the half block (10-3) is placed so that three legs (30) are supported on the foundation surface (45), and the basic block (10-1) is placed so that one leg (30) on one side and two legs (30) on the other side are supported on the foundation surface (45).

[0272] Since the shape of one leg (30) of the basic block (10-1) and the shape of the other leg (30) are both the same, when the basic block (10-1) is placed on the base surface (45) as above, the body (20) of the basic block (10-1) can have a posture tilted at a predetermined angle with respect to the base surface (45).

[0273] The above half blocks (10-3) can be installed in one or multiple stages adjacent to each other in the forward-backward direction. The above basic blocks (10-1) can be installed in one or multiple stages adjacent to each other in the forward-backward direction. The above one or multiple stages of half blocks (10-3) adjacent to each other in the forward-backward direction and the above one or multiple stages of basic blocks (10-1) adjacent to each other in the forward-backward direction can be arranged alternately in the forward-backward direction.

[0274] The marine structure (40) of the second embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 20 and 21 exemplifies that the first half block (10-3) and the first basic block (10-1) are arranged alternately in the front-rear direction.

[0275] The third embodiment of the marine structure (40) illustrated in FIGS. 22 and 23 exemplifies that a single-stage basic block (10-1) and multi-stage, specifically two-stage, half blocks (10-3) are arranged alternately in the forward and backward direction.

[0276] The fourth embodiment of the marine structure (40) illustrated in FIGS. 24 and 25 exemplifies a multi-stage structure, specifically a two-stage basic block (10-1) and a single-stage half block (10-3) arranged alternately in the forward and backward direction.

[0277] In this way, although it has not been implemented and explained in an embodiment form, it is clear that the multi-stage basic block (10-1) and the multi-stage half block (10-3) can be arranged alternately in the front-back direction.

[0278] The above basic block (10-1) and half block (10-3) may have different stability when placed on the foundation surface (45). Depending on the conditions of the foundation surface (45), placing the basic block (10-1) may be more stable, or placing the half block (10-3) may be more stable.

[0279] The above-mentioned heterogeneous sofa block (10) can be selectively installed based on the stability according to the mutual relationship between the base surface (45) of the submersible (40) and the sofa block (10).

[0280] The above-mentioned basic block (10-1) and half block (10-3) may exhibit different effects on seawater circulation. Accordingly, the above-mentioned heterogeneous wave block (10) may be selectively installed to correspond to the marine environment in which the submersible (40) is constructed.

[0281] Constructing a marine structure (40) as described above has the advantage of being able to accommodate different technical demands at each location where the sofa blocks (10) are installed, and being able to install the sofa blocks (10) most suitable for the technical requirements at the corresponding location, while also being able to construct the structure by implementing the different sofa blocks (10) into a unified basic block (10-1) and half block (10-3).

[0282] Moreover, in order to manufacture a small quantity of half blocks (10-3) compared to the basic block (10-1), there is an advantage in that the half blocks (10-3) can be flexibly manufactured on site using a formwork for manufacturing the basic block (10-1) without the need for a separate formwork.

[0283] In the above-mentioned submerged structure (40), the half blocks (10-3) constituting one section are arranged in a row along the width direction, and the half blocks (10-3-3) in the third posture with one leg (30) positioned forward and the half blocks (10-3-4) in the fourth posture with two legs (30) positioned forward are arranged alternately.

[0284] As implemented in the second embodiment of FIGS. 22 and 23, the half-block (10-3) may be directly adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction and may be installed in multiple stages. Furthermore, as implemented in all embodiments, the half-block (10-3) may be installed in multiple stages with the basic block (10-1) interposed in the front-rear direction.

[0285] When viewed in the forward-backward direction, the third-position half-block (10-3-3) and the fourth-position half-block (10-3-4) are placed in a single row in the above-mentioned submersible (40). When the third-position half-block (10-3-3) and the fourth-position half-block (10-3-4) are placed in a single row in the forward-backward direction, they may be directly adjacent to each other in the forward-backward direction, or may be placed in a single row with a basic block (10-1) interposed therebetween.

[0286] In the above-mentioned substructure (40), the basic block (10-1) constituting one section may be alternately arranged along the width direction, with a basic block (10-1-5) in the fifth posture in which one leg (30) supported on the base surface (45) is placed forward, and a basic block (10-1-6) in the sixth posture in which two other legs (30) supported on the base surface (45) are placed forward.

[0287] As implemented in the third embodiment of FIGS. 24 and 25, the basic block (10-1) can be installed in multiple stages while being directly adjacent to each other in the front-back direction. Furthermore, as implemented in all embodiments, the basic block (10-1) can be installed in multiple stages while interposing the half block (10-3) in the front-back direction.

[0288] When viewed in the forward-backward direction, in the above-described submersible (40), the basic block (10-1-5) of the fifth posture and the basic block (10-1-6) of the sixth posture are respectively placed in a single row. When the basic block (10-1-5) of the fifth posture and the basic block (10-1-6) of the sixth posture are respectively placed in a single row in the forward-backward direction, they may be directly adjacent to each other in the forward-backward direction or may be placed in a single row with a half block (10-3) interposed therebetween.

[0289] The above basic block (10-1) can be placed forward or backward relative to the half block (10-3) so as to be adjacent to the half block (10-3) in the front-back direction. The basic block (10-1-5) of the fifth posture can be placed forward or backward facing the half block (10-3-3) of the third posture, and the basic block (10-1-6) of the sixth posture can be placed forward or backward facing the half block (10-3-4) of the fourth posture.

[0290] Likewise, the half block (10-3) may be positioned forward or backward relative to the basic block (10-1) so as to be adjacent to the basic block (10-1) in the front-back direction. The half block (10-3-3) of the third posture may be positioned forward or backward facing the basic block (10-1-5) of the fifth posture, and the half block (10-3-4) of the fourth posture may be positioned forward or backward facing the basic block (10-1-6) of the sixth posture.

[0291] Referring to FIGS. 16 and 24, the present invention provides a wave-absorbing block and marine structure construction system using AI that can develop a marine structure constructed using a shape model of a body (20) and a leg (30) of the wave-absorbing block (10) and a different-shaped wave-absorbing block to improve wave-absorbing efficiency. The development system can be applied to the wave-absorbing block (10) and the marine structure (40). In an embodiment, the wave-absorbing block and marine structure construction system using AI is implemented in a breakwater (40) and / or a submerged barrier (40). Artificial intelligence can be applied to the wave-absorbing block and marine structure construction system using AI.

[0292] Referring to Fig. 16, the breakwater block and marine structure construction system using the AI ​​includes a sensor (51) installed on the body (20) of the breakwater (40), the basic block (10-1), the deformation block (10-2), and the half block (10-3), and a leg (30), and an information receiving unit (52) that receives measurement information measured by the sensor (51).

[0293] Referring to Fig. 24, the device includes a sensor (51) installed on the body (20) of the above-described submersible (40), the basic block (10-1), and the half block (10-3), and a leg (30), and an information receiving unit (52) that receives measurement information measured by the sensor (51).

[0294] The sensor (51) may include a velocity sensor for measuring velocity. Furthermore, the sensor (51) may include a pressure sensor for measuring pressure.

A plurality of such strings may be installed at predetermined intervals on the surface of the body (20) or the leg (30). The strings may move and extend in accordance with the flow of seawater.

[0295] The above sensor (51) can be installed at various locations of the breakwater (40). The sensor (51) can be installed at an appropriate location from the front to the rear of the breakwater (40). In addition, the sensor (51) can be installed on a leg (30) that extends downward and is supported, or on a leg (30) that extends upward. The sensor (51) can be installed on the body (20). The sensor (51) can be installed on the front of the marine structure (40), and can also be installed at sea, on land, or in the air.

[0296] The above sensor (51) can collect weather information, wind direction information, wind speed information, etc. by date and time. In addition, the sensor (51) can collect the direction and speed of waves and waves flowing into the marine structure (40). In addition, the sensor (51) can measure wave pressure, wave direction, and seawater temperature, etc. measured at specific locations of wave blocks (10) regularly arranged in the marine structure (40).

[0297] The sensor (51) and information receiving unit (52) can exchange information with each other through communication. The communication can be bidirectional or unidirectional. The communication can be wired or wireless. The communication can be performed using various protocols.

[0298] The sofa block construction system using the above AI provides an information storage unit (53) that stores environmental information collected in response to shape information of the body (20) and legs (30), information on the structure of the marine structure (40), measurement information, and time information matching the measurement information as input information.

[0299] The above information storage unit (53) stores, as input information, the shape information of the sofa block, information on the structure of the marine structure (40), various measurement information measured by the sensor (51) and received by the information receiving unit (52), and environmental information collected in response to time information matching the measurement information.

[0300] The sofa block construction system using the above AI further includes an information processing unit (54) that analyzes the input information to calculate sofa rate information corresponding to the body (20) and legs (30) and sofa rate information by location of the marine structure (40).

[0301] The above information processing unit (54) may include one or more of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), one or more microprocessors, and other electronic components capable of processing input data according to predetermined logic.

[0302] The information processing unit (54) can read the system program and various processing programs stored in the information storage unit (53). For example, the information processing unit (54) can deploy data processing processes for deriving the sofa rate information described below on RAM, and perform various processing according to the deployed program.

[0303] The above information storage unit (53) stores, as output information, sofa rate information corresponding to each part of the sofa block shape calculated in response to the input information and sofa rate information by location of the marine structure.

[0304] The above information storage unit (53) may include a memory. Accordingly, the information storage unit (53) may also store data and a learning model required for learning. The memory may be implemented as a nonvolatile semiconductor memory, a hard disk, a flash memory, a RAM, a ROM (Read Only Memory), an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), or another type of (tangible) nonvolatile recording medium.

[0305] In addition, the information storage unit (53) can store various processing programs, parameters for performing program processing, or processing result data, etc. For example, the information storage unit (53) can store a data processing process program for performing the improved sofa block shape proposal described below, a proposal process program, parameters for performing each program, and data obtained by performing such programs (e.g., processed data or proposal result values).

[0306] The above information storage unit (53) can store the sofa rate information of the body (20) and legs (30) and the sofa rate information by location of the marine structure (40) calculated by the information processing unit (54) in response to the input information as output information.

[0307] The above-mentioned sofa block construction system using AI further includes a learning unit (55) that analyzes input information and output information to learn patterns and relationships and presents a new shape model of a body (20) and leg (30) with improved sofa efficiency and a structural model of a marine structure (40).

[0308] The above learning unit (55) learns patterns and relationships between given input information and output information through machine learning.

[0309] The above learning unit (55) presents a new sofa block shape model based on the learned patterns and relationships.

[0310] The above learning unit (55) estimates the sofa rate by applying learned patterns and relationships to the model it presents.

[0311] The above learning unit (55) can develop a proposal process for presenting a new shape model of a sofa block and a structural model of a marine structure, etc. on RAM, and perform various processing according to the developed program.

[0312] The above information storage unit (53) updates and stores the model presented by the learning unit with the sofa block shape information and marine structure structure information of the input information, and updates and stores the sofa rate estimated by the learning unit from the model with sofa rate information of the output information.

[0313] The system for constructing a wave block and marine structure using the AI ​​according to the present invention can utilize artificial intelligence in determining the above design factors while maintaining the geometrical basic shapes of the basic block (10-1), the deformation block (10-2), and the half block (10-3), and can utilize artificial intelligence in determining the installation posture, installation location, installation direction, and mutual installation structure of the wave block in the marine structure while applying the basic block, the deformation block, and the half block.

[0314] The shape model of the body (20) and the leg (30) presented by the artificial intelligence learned by the learning unit (55) includes the cross-sectional size of the body (20), the extension length of the body (20), the taper angle of the body (20), the cross-sectional size of the leg (30), the extension length of the leg (30), the taper angle of the leg (30), and the angle (30B) between the central axis of the leg (30) and the central axis of the body (20).

[0315] In addition, the information on the structure of the marine structure (40) presented by the artificial intelligence learned by the learning unit (55) may include new placement postures, placement locations, placement directions, and mutual placement structures of the heterogeneous wave-blocks. In addition, this may include new placement postures, placement locations, placement directions, and mutual placement structures of the proposed new heterogeneous wave-blocks.

[0316] Among the information on the structure of the above marine structure (40), the installation posture includes information on a leg (30) of the wave-absorbing block (10) that is supported by the ground. The installation location includes a location where the wave-absorbing block (10) is installed in the marine structure (40). For example, the location may be information on the seabed (41), slope (42), ceiling (43), foundation (45), and upper wall (44). In addition, the location includes information on being partially or fully supported by another wave-absorbing block. In addition, the installation direction includes information on the direction in which the bodies of the wave-absorbing blocks are arranged or the direction in which the legs are arranged. In addition, the mutual installation structure includes information on the interlocking between the bodies and legs of the two neighboring wave-absorbing blocks.

[0317] The above information processing unit (54) can calculate the sofa rate (output information) for each shape part of the sofa block (10) installed at each location of the marine structure (40) from the measurement information, the collection information, and the sofa block shape information (input information).

[0318] The learning unit (55) learns the relationship between input information and output information through machine learning, proposes a new sofa block shape model through machine learning, predicts the sofa rate of the proposed model based on the learned relationship between the input information and output information, and incorporates the proposed model and sofa rate into the input information and output information. The learning unit (55) can repeat this learning process. The sofa block model proposed by the learning unit (55) is stored in the information storage unit (53) with the parameters described above.

[0319] In this way, the smart sofa block development system according to the embodiment is implemented in a form in which AI is incorporated.

[0320] According to an embodiment, a data set for learning of the learning unit (55) can be acquired. The acquired data may be a data set processed by the data processing process described above.

[0321] During the training phase of a neural network model, a training data set can be acquired and utilized. During the validation phase of a neural network model, a validation data set can be acquired and utilized. During the testing phase of a neural network model, a test data set can be acquired and utilized. Each data set can include labels.

[0322] Data sets can be retrieved from a queue. Data sets can be retrieved from the queue in batch sizes. For example, if a batch size of 60 is specified, data sets can be retrieved from the queue in batches of 60. The batch size may be limited by the RAM capacity of the GPU.

[0323] Data sets can be randomly obtained from the queue by the learning module. Data sets can also be obtained in the order in which they were accumulated in the queue.

[0324] The learning module can be extracted by specifying the configuration of the data set obtained from the queue.

[0325] The learning module can obtain a data set with specific labels from the queue. The learning module can obtain the data set by specifying a ratio of the number of data points according to the label from the queue.

[0326] A neural network model may be a rate-producing model that outputs rate information based on data. The structure of a rate-producing neural network model for obtaining rate information may have a predetermined form. The neural network model may include multiple layers or hierarchies.

[0327] A neural network model can be implemented as a classifier that generates information about the sofa rate. The classifier can perform dual or multi-classification. For example, the neural network model can be a binary classification model that classifies input data into a normal or abnormal class based on the target sofa rate information. Alternatively, the neural network model can be a multi-classification model that classifies input data into multiple rating classes based on specific characteristics. Alternatively, the neural network model can be implemented as a regression model that outputs a specific numerical value associated with a specific sofa rate.

[0328] The types of neural networks used in the artificial intelligence and its deep learning may vary. For example, the neural network type may be a convolutional neural network (CNN) or a spiking neural network (SNN). According to the present invention, at least one of a CNN and an SNN may be applied as the neural network type.

[0329] CNNs are a type of traditional artificial neural network primarily used for image and video processing. They consist of multiple layers, each capable of performing operations such as convolution, pooling, and activation functions. CNNs process continuous real-valued data. They extract feature maps from input images through convolution operations that preserve the spatial relationships of the image. Then, pooling operations reduce the dimensionality of the extracted feature maps to improve computational efficiency and prevent overfitting, and activation functions add nonlinearity to enhance the model's expressiveness. These operations then gradually abstract information, ultimately enabling tasks such as classification and regression.

[0330] The above CNN can be trained using the backpropagation algorithm.

[0331] Image data including strings acquired by the above image acquisition sensor can be processed by the CNN. The information abstracted by the CNN can include information that can estimate current velocity, seawater flow direction, seawater behavior, and water flow separation.

[0332] Neural network models can include convolutional neural networks (CNNs). As CNN structures, there are Alexnet, LENET, NIN, VGGNet, ResNEt, WideResnet, GoogleNet, FractaNet, DenseNet, FitNet, RitResNet, HighwayNet,

[0333] At least one of MobileNet and DeeplySuperviseNet can be used. The neural network model can be implemented using multiple CNN structures.

[0334] For example, a neural network model can be implemented to include multiple VGGNet blocks. More specifically, the neural network model can be prepared by combining a first structure in which a CNN layer having 64 filters of size 3X3, a BN (Batch Normalization) layer, and a ReLu layer are sequentially combined, and a second block in which a CNN layer having 128 filters of size 3X3, a ReLu layer, and a BN layer are sequentially combined.

[0335] The neural network model may include a max pooling layer following each CNN block, and may include a global average pooling (GAP) layer, a fully connected (FC) layer, and an activation layer (e.g., sigmoid, softmax, etc.) at the end.

[0336] SNNs are neural networks that mimic the operating principles of biological neural networks, allowing neurons and synapses to communicate through electrical signals (spikes). SNNs can transmit information through spikes (discrete events) rather than continuous values. Neurons generate spikes when certain conditions are met, and these spikes are transmitted to the next neuron, enabling the entire neural network to operate. Unlike CNNs, these spikes are transmitted in the form of discrete spikes. Furthermore, SNNs incorporate a temporal dimension, allowing them to process input data in a way that reflects its temporal characteristics. Furthermore, compared to CNNs, which have a high computational load, SNNs mimic the behavior of biological neurons, resulting in lower power consumption and greater energy efficiency.

[0337] The above SNN can be implemented as a Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) model or a Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) model. The LIF model can be a structure in which the potential of a neuron integrates and accumulates input signals, and when a certain threshold is exceeded, a spike is generated and the potential is reset. The HH model more precisely mimics the operation of biological neurons and can calculate voltage changes by considering multiple ion channels. There can be various ways to convert information into spike form in the LIF model. For example, information can be encoded using the frequency of spikes occurring over a certain period of time (rate coding), or information can be encoded using the time interval at which spikes occur (temporal coding).

[0338] The learning algorithm of SNN can be implemented as a biological learning rule (STDP; Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity) in which the synaptic strength between two neurons changes according to the difference in spike occurrence times, as reinforcement learning in which the SNN learns using a reward signal, or as a method in which the SNN performs backpropagation along the time axis (BPTT; Backpropagation-through-time).

[0339] Information such as current velocity and seawater flow estimated by the CNN at different locations and times can be processed by an SNN. The information abstracted by the SNN can include correlations between information estimated at two different locations. In particular, the SNN can abstract correlations between information such as current velocity and seawater flow occurring within an offshore structure where wave-absorbing blocks are repeatedly placed.

[0340] CNNs and SNNs each have their own strengths and weaknesses. In the construction system for the waveguide blocks and marine structures according to the embodiment of the present invention, an appropriate neural network is selected and used depending on the purpose. For example, CNNs may be used more heavily than SNNs for learning and presenting models of individual waveguide blocks, while SNNs may be used more heavily than CNNs for learning and presenting models of marine structures composed of interconnected waveguide blocks.

[0341] A neural network model can be trained using a training data set. The neural network model can be trained using a labeled data set. However, the training process for the neural network model for calculating the sofa rate described herein is not limited to this, and the neural network model can also be trained in an unsupervised manner using unlabeled data.

[0342] Neural network model training can be performed by obtaining output values ​​using a neural network model with arbitrary weight values ​​based on training image data, comparing the obtained output values ​​with the label values ​​of the training data, and performing backpropagation based on the error to optimize the weight values. Furthermore, neural network model training can be influenced by feedback from the model verification results, test results, and / or proposal stages described below.

[0343] Training of the neural network model described above can be performed using TensorFlow. However, this is not a limitation; frameworks such as Theano, Keras, Caffe, Torch, and CNTK (Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit) can also be used for training neural network models.

[0344] A neural network model can be validated using a validation dataset. Validation of a neural network model can be performed by obtaining output values ​​for the validation dataset from a trained neural network model and comparing the output values ​​with the labels in the validation dataset. Validation can be performed by measuring the accuracy of the output values. Based on the validation results, the parameters (e.g., weights and / or biases) or hyperparameters (e.g., learning rate) of the neural network model can be adjusted.

[0345] For example, a learning device according to one embodiment can train a neural network model that predicts a sofa rate based on measurement data, and perform verification of the sofa rate calculation neural network model by comparing sofa rate calculation information for a verification sofa rate of the learned model with a verification label corresponding to the verification sofa rate.

[0346] To validate a neural network model, a separate validation set (external data set) can be used, i.e., a data set containing distinct factors not included in the training data set. For example, the external validation set may be a data set in which each parameter is distinct from the training data set.

[0347] Neural network models can be tested using a test data set.

[0348] According to a learning process according to one embodiment, a neural network model can be tested using a test data set distinct from the training data set and the validation data set. Based on the test results, parameters (e.g., weights and / or biases) or hyperparameters (e.g., learning rate) of the neural network model can be adjusted.

[0349] For example, a learning device according to one embodiment can obtain a result value using test measurement data that was not used for training and verification as input from a neural network model learned to predict sofa rate calculation information based on measurement data, and perform a test of the sofa rate calculation neural network model learned and verified.

[0350] For testing a neural network model, a separate validation set (external data set) can be used, i.e., a data set having factors that are distinct from the training and / or validation data.

[0351] As a result of training a neural network model, optimized model parameter values ​​can be obtained. As described above, by repeatedly training the model using a test data set, more appropriate parameter (or variable) values ​​can be obtained. Once training has progressed sufficiently, optimized weight and / or bias values ​​can be obtained.

[0352] According to one embodiment, the learned neural network model and / or the parameters or variables of the learned neural network model may be stored in the learning device and / or the proposal device (or server). The learned neural network model may be used to predict the sofa rate calculation information by the proposal device and / or the client device. Furthermore, the parameters or variables of the learned neural network model may be updated based on feedback obtained from the proposal device or the client device.

[0353] According to one embodiment, during the training process of a single neural network model for calculating the sofa rate, multiple sub-models can be trained simultaneously. The multiple sub-models can have different hierarchical structures.

[0354] In this case, the neural network model for calculating the sofa rate according to one embodiment can be implemented by combining multiple sub-neural network models. In other words, training of the neural network model can be performed using an ensemble technique that combines multiple sub-neural networks.

[0355] When a neural network model for calculating the sofa rate is constructed by forming an ensemble, predictions can be made by synthesizing the predicted results from various types of sub-neural network models, thereby improving the accuracy of the result prediction.

[0356] The learning process of a neural network model according to an embodiment of the present invention may include acquiring a data set, learning a first model (i.e., a first neural network model) and a second model (i.e., a second neural network model) using the acquired data, verifying the learned first neural network model and second neural network model, determining a final neural network model, and acquiring its parameters or variables.

[0357] According to one embodiment, multiple sub-neural network models can obtain the same training data set and individually generate output values. In this case, an ensemble of multiple sub-neural network models is determined as a final neural network model, and parameter values ​​for each of the multiple sub-neural network models can be obtained as a learning result. The output value of the final neural network model can be determined as an average value of the output values ​​of each sub-neural network model. Alternatively, the output value of the final neural network model can be determined as a weighted average value of the output values ​​of each sub-neural network model.

[0358] For a more specific example, when a neural network model includes a first sub-neural network model and a second sub-neural network model, optimized parameter values ​​for the first sub-neural network model and optimized parameter values ​​for the second sub-neural network model can be obtained through machine learning. At this time, an average value of output values ​​(e.g., probability values ​​for specific sofa rate calculation information) obtained from the first sub-neural network model and the second sub-neural network model can be determined as the output value of the final neural network model.

[0359] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the accuracy of each sub-neural network model can be evaluated based on the output values ​​of each of the plurality of sub-neural network models. At this time, based on the accuracy, one of the plurality of sub-neural network models can be selected and determined as the final sub-neural network model. The structure of the determined sub-neural network model and the parameter values ​​of the determined sub-neural network model obtained as a result of learning can be stored.

[0360] As a more specific example, when a neural network model includes a first sub-neural network model and a second sub-neural network model, the accuracy according to each of the first sub-neural network model and the second sub-neural network model can be obtained, and a more accurate sub-neural network model can be determined as the final neural network model.

[0361] According to another embodiment of the present invention, at least one sub-neural network among a plurality of neural network models is combined, an ensemble of the combined at least one sub-neural network model is formed, and each ensemble is evaluated, and a combination of sub-neural network models forming an ensemble with a high accuracy among the plurality of ensembles can be determined as a final neural network model. In this case, ensembling can be performed for all possible cases of selecting at least one of the plurality of sub-neural network models, and a combination of sub-neural networks evaluated as having the highest accuracy can be determined as the final neural network model.

[0362] As a more specific example, when a neural network model includes a first sub-neural network model and a second sub-neural network model, the accuracy of the first sub-neural network model, the accuracy of the second sub-neural network model, and the accuracy of an ensemble of the first and second sub-neural network models can be compared, and the sub-neural network model configuration with the most accuracy can be determined as the final neural network model.
