Wave impact on asphaltic concrete revetments: Literature review

In the year 1991 the Technical Advisory Commission (TAW-A4) ordered a full scale investigation on wave impacts on an asphaltic concrete revetment. The goal of the experiment was to gain insight into the mechanisms which would lead to failure, cracking of the revetment. Also the behaviour of the revetment after failure (residual strength) was...

Experiment analysis: The relation between wave loading and resulting strain in an asphaltic concrete

In the year 1991 the Technical Advisory Commission (TAW-A4) ordered a full scale investigation on wave impacts on an asphaltic concrete revetment. The goal of the experiment was to gain insight into the mechanisms which would lead to failure, cracking of the revetment.

Hydraulic properties of PUR-revetments compared to those of open stone asphalt revetments - Some mechanical properties of elastocoast for safety investigations of dikes (VTV2004)

Failure modes for revetments and dunes

The present report describes the research done within the framework of Activity 1.2 of Task 4 of the European Union FLOODsite project. It contains an inventory of the failure modes, predictive equations and related uncertainties for revetments and dunes, based work already undertaken in The Netherlands, including limit state equations and...

Determination of mechanical properties of hydraulic asphaltic concrete by means of a three-point bending test

Asphaltic Concrete Cores for Embankment Dams

P r e f a c e This book describes Norwegian and international experience and practice with the use of asphaltic concrete cores for embankment dams. The properties of asphaltic concrete can, within fairly wide limits, be tailored to satisfy specific dam design requirements. This is an important aspect and advantage of using bituminous cores in...

Asphalt revetment of dyke slopes. RWS-Communications No.27

The 'Committee on the Compaction of Asphalt Revetments of Dyke Slopes' (C.V.A.) was set up in 1965 at the initiative of the Delta Project Department of the Public Works Department. This Committee was given the task of investigating how the quality and stability of asphalt revetments could be still further improved by achieving higher compacting...

Use of asphalt for slope protection on earth and rockfill dams

Three different types of slope protection are discussed : — combination of impervious element and slope protection (aspnalt concrete, prefab mastic mattresses); — heavy duty slope protection (penetration of loose riprap, basic design principles, examples); — bituminous filter construction : sandasphalt filter-layer, masticmac protective layer,...

Bituminous bank revetments in rivers and canals

In many countries Inland navigation is taking a high flight nowadays. The Increase of number, size and speed of Inland shipping calls for reconstruction of existing bank revetments and Installation of new protective works on navigable rivers and existing or newly built canals. New methods of bank protection are developed to speed up production...

Recent developments in asphalt techniques for hydraulic applications in the Netherlands

Since 1945 and particularly after the flood in 1953 new means were developed to accelerate the construction of hydraulic engineering projects in the Netherlands. This development was initially related to paving sand dikes with durable materials. The available knowledge of the mechanical properties of asphaltic mixtures and the experience with...
