Contributor Maier, A.D. Corporate name Rijkswaterstaat Project KWP-collection Date 1991-04-01 Abstract The study embodies a critical assessment and evaluation of different revetment types as solution to bank problems. The efficacy and usefulness of these revetment types and the associated empirical design methods (incorporatinghydraulic boundary conditions and load parameters) were checked with application to a particular case study in the delta region of Nigeria. The use of modelling approach as a design t.ool for the design of placed concrete block revetment was also partially verified in the study. The contents of the study cao be summarily viewed from three perspectiyes for quick appraisal. Chapter 1 which describes the stated objectives and scope of the study can be referred to as the first part. The subsequent chapters 2 and 3 (may be referred to as second part) are essentially theoretical description of the fundamentals of stability of a bank, failure modes, the predominant boundary conditions and load parameters, design criteria and the existing empirical/deterministic and modelling design methods to derive the structural parameters of both permeable and impermeable revetment types. All these are discussed. The remaining part which contains chapters 4,5,6,7 and Appendix I involves the technical analyses and empirical designs for three revetment types namely Rip+rap, Open stone asphaltand. Placed block revetments, using the theory and guidelines of chapters 2 and 3, were applied to the particular case study. The main loading conditions are predominantly hydraulic. An optimum design condition based on load and cost variations was derived as a factor for selection and justification for a particular revetment type for the case study. The modelling design methods (Steenzet/l and Anamos) were also applied and compared with the empirical design methods. The conclusions are specifically highlighted in chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7.
