One of the common measures for river bank protection is the installation of riprap. There are several methods to design riprap appropriately, which are however generally limited to dumped medium size blocks. Nevertheless, an additional resistance against erosion can be achieved by individually placing blocks in one or several layers instead of dumping them arbitrarily. An experimental investiga...

Erosion of the river banks in India have become recurrent event causing enormous problem for the people and the Government. With the increase of population along the bank of the rivers, the erosion of township, cluster of villages and important communication system, govt. resources are over exploited.

In urban rivers, groups of large waves are generated when boats like tankers pass. These waves are the main cause of reed covered bank erosion. Reed banks are required in order to protect the riverbank and to provide inhabitant for wildlife. Therefore it is important to clarify a relationship between wave energy and rate of bank erosion. For this purpose, we constructed detached breakwaters in ...
