Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book discusses the functions of revetments and the different aspects of structural performance. It includes example specifications and calculations that enable the engineer to choose the most stable, appropriate and cost-effective revetment system for a given situation. The book guides the engineer through the design process, from identifying hydraulic loading conditions and initial dimensioning of the revetment elements to detailed design of the revetment elements to ensure adequate protection against design wave conditions.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 159-162).
Introduction -- Revetment function and performance -- Revetment components -- Materials for revetment construction -- Identification of likely failure modes -- Design process -- Hydraulic boundary conditions -- Geotechnical boundary conditions -- Design of initial cross-section -- Design methods -- Detailed design -- Other considerations -- Inspection, maintenance and repair.
