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....

Alternative revetments

Summary of design methods for alternative revetments, such as interlock systems and block mats, gabions, concrete mattresses and geosystems, such as sandbags and sand sausages. This contribution aims at giving a summary of the increased knowledge, especially that concerning the design tools that have been made available.
