SHORE PROTECTION STRUCTURE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: hydraulic engineering. SUBSTANCE: shore protection structure has earth-filled dike with combination slope stabilization and washout-resistant device which is made in the form of short drowned spur-members with length of l = l₁+l₂, where l₁ - length of root part of spur-member which is made up of two and more layers of gabions. l₁≥l₂, where l₂ - length of head flexible part of spur-member made up of one layer of gabions and attached atop and ahead of it are flexible reinforced concrete grate, and l₂≥l₂, where hp - maximal depth of probable washout of bed below base of head part of spur-member. Spur-members are arranged at dike foot at distance from each other and their root parts are buried in dike slope. EFFECT: high efficiency. 3 dwg
