Placed revetments under wave attack: Study of structural mechanics ( Gezette steenbekledingen onder golfaanval Mechanicastudie liggerwerking )

This report studies clamping phenomena in placed revetments on the Dutch dikes. One of the reasons of placing stones is that the stability of the single stones increases. Pull–out tests on single stones show a strength up to 10 times the single stone weight. In present standardized design methods for placed revetments there is no significant...
