Abstract

PUR-revetment is a newly developed method for hydraulic application. Its structure is similar to that of open stone asphalt revetment, but the crushed stones are glued by polyurethane (PUR) instead of bitumen. To study the feasibility of applying PUR-revetment, a research based on the comparisons between PUR-revetment and open stone asphalt revetment was carried out, for which, a standard four-point bending frequency sweep test, a standard monotonic three-point bending strength test, a porosity test, a stability on slope test, a wave run-up test, an interface permeability test, a relative resistance to abrasive action test and some calculations in GOLFKLAP were done. It suggests PUR-revetment is applicable in practice.
