River and Channel Revetments: A Design Manual
1998,
245 pages, hard cover
$102.80
This comprehensive new guide provides an extensive compilation of the characteristics of major revetment systems and gives independent advice on the choice of the most suitable type or types. Including design formulae based on recent research, this invaluable new guide provides designers of river bed and bank protection with a collation and review of diverse information in a single state-of-the-art document. Consideration is given to the design of protection for natural and artificial watercourses under a wide range of flow conditions such as high turbulence, tidal flows, wind and boat waves and flows around bends. The manual covers revetments that incorporate some form of structural protection and combine this with the use of vegetation to increase the environmental quality of the systems. Extensive use of photographs, flowcharts and diagrams direct the engineer in the design procedure towards the correct choice for the most appropriate type of revetment and cost-effective design.
