Popis:	Offshore islands and structures require protection from wave and ice erosion. Protection has been traditionally provided by sandbags, concrete mats, or quarried rock. The results of a research program are presented in which a new form of artificial armor stone, suitable for application in the offshore Arctic, has been investigated. This artificial stone is made from two ingredient: a sandy aggregate and nonmarketable sulfur. Sand is available in vast quantities in the Mackenzie area, and the nonmarketable sulfur may be obtained from the base pads of stockpiled sulfur located in Alberta. Laboratory testing has been undertaken on specimens manufactured from site specific aggregate obtained from four borrow sources in the Beaufort Sea. The laboratory tests and potential Arctic applications of the material are discussed in detail.
