Help Regarding Riverbank Protection and Stability Analysis

Published on by in Academic

Hello Members,

Does anyone have ideas or study documents regarding the riverbank protection and stability analysis? If yes, please share them with me.

Thanks & Regards,

  1. Maybe I can share some examples of what not to do… These pictures were taken in the Center of Petrópolis, Brazil, where the maintenance crews caused the greatest damage when they removed all shrub plants with relatively deep roots and substituted them with grass (sod), which would obviously not grow well in such steep slopes. Note that where trees exist (with deep roots), slope stability is preserved despite steep conditions. The results were to be expected, and caused extensive instability of the slopes, increased erosion, loss of greenery, and an ugly appearance!

  2. IN INDIA THEY ARE USING BOTH HEMP BURLAP MATERIAL & HEMP PLANTS LAID ALONG ROVER BANKS WITH HEMP PLANTS PLANTED THROUGH OPENINGS IN THE HEMP MATERIALS HEMP PLANTS GROW 6-12' TALL THEIR HEMP ROOTS GROW 6-12.0' DEEP HEMP JUTE ABSORB HEAVY METALS POLLUTANTS

     

  3. Hello Vikrant,
    I very much recommend you contact David Polster  http://polsterenvironmental.com/
    I started learning from him in 2009; everything I know about restoration is thanks to him. His work is remarkable, and simple: Work with nature.
    Whatever you do, don't fall into the "straight channels" model most engineers seem to go for (sorry all those eng. out there, but that has been my experience, worldwide; those models have to go)

  7. The degradation of stream banks is an environmental concern for many people, especially property owners along stream banks.

    Riverbanks erosion is a very important issue during flood periods and the risks associated to it demand that protection measures are taken and, in certain cases, that protection structures are built.. 

    soil bioengineering methods are commonly used for riverbank protection in river restoration works. Yet all such work revolves around one main issue: the limit of resistance to hydrodynamic stress. Tests show that different soil bioengineering methods produce different resistance levels and that the best results are obtained by methods which include the entire riverbank. The stability of soil bioengineering methods is also influenced by a number of dynamic and local factors.

    Traditional concrete revetment technology mainly focuses on the safety of engineering without taking the river ecological system protection into account. The ecological concrete revetment can properly combines the river slope sclerosis with green to keep the river ecological system sustainable develop. Ecological concrete revetment includes excavating, laying concrete frame, pouring ecological concrete, filling nutrition soil, planting vegetation, management and observation processes. The revetment of concrete hexagonal tile is suitable with excellent resistance to water washing out and good capability of fixing soil. Slop protection of concrete rectangular frame is used for its large scale and high efficiency of construction. Selecting native plants for greening materials is convenient of transplanting, it has low cost and high survival rate.
