Corporate name TU Delft Date 2002-07-01 Abstract For the protection of dilce slopes and river banks Dutch designers frequently use block revetments. At this moment the international market for block revetments is increasing because the smooth surface and aesthetic appearance of the slope has an increasing importance. It makes the water line accessible to bathers and fishermen and it also enables an integrated design in the scenery, which is important for highly populated areas, such as near a coastal city. GreenBanks has developed a prefabricated block-mattress called GREENFLEX®. This system consists of linked concrete blocks. The linking of the GREENFLEX® blocks, in combination with the interlocking between these blocks, gives a higher stability of the revetment compared to normal block revetments. This report will give an description of the GREENFLEX® system. The stability ofthe blocks will be described in Chapter 3 "Design procedure". Large model tests in the Delta flume of WL I Delft Hydraulics will be used to illustrate the stability of the block-mattress under wave attack. In Chapter 4 two examples of a design with the GREENFLEX® system will be described.
