The construction of Core-Loc armour layers requires that unit centroids are systematically placed according to a grid pattern. To give the type of interlock required by this unit’s developers, neither a fully random nor a strict identically orientated neighbour-to-neighbour pattern of placement is successful. This means that a certain degree of irregularity in unit orientations is required. To guide the contractors, armour layers deemed to have been placed with acceptable standards, units must satisfy special placement criteria given by the Core-Loc developer. There is a lack of instruction on how to achieve such ‘acceptable irregular orientations and placements’. The construction success seems more a function of experience and skill of the crane operator than any repeatable or potentially machine-programmable methodology. For this reason, it is also challenging to design a repeatable numerical method that reliably positions units into armour layers that satisfy the developer’s special placement criteria.For the numerical creation of full-scale Core-Loc armour layers, a placement method was briefly introduced in previous work by the authors, based on the multi-body FEMDEM code, Y3D-R combined with a versatile deposition code, POSITIT. While satisfactory layers were previously demonstrated, here we elaborate on the sensitivity of the placed armour layer attributes to the numerical construction process parameters. In this work, new capabilities of POSITIT/Y3D-R are harnessed in a computationally efficient row-by-row numerical placement of units. These include vibration and artificially low friction in order to achieve acceptable irregular packs of the appropriate packing density. To examine the role that initial armour layer build quality has on unit immovability or the percentage of units that do not displace significantly under a standard oscillatory disturbing force, a sinusoidal velocity vibration is applied to the foundations in a series of tests on differently constructed full-scale armour layers. What emerges from this sensitivity study is an implicit verification of the importance of the technical requirements set by the developer of Core-Loc units.
