Wave forces and structure response of placed block revetments on inclined structures

A summary of the theoretical and empirical knowledge of the stability of block-revetment structures under wave attack is given. This has been accomplished by selecting the very essence of the design formulas from (CUR/TAW, 1992/1994) and completing it afterwards with a database of results of large-scale model studies from all over the world....

Design criteria for placed block revetments and granular filters

Design criteria for the coverlayer and filter layer of a placed block revetment are presented. These design criteria were derived on the basis of large scale model tests on revetments and test on granular filters. It is shown that the hydraulic loading in the filter can be described with equations of quasi-stationary flow. General filter...
