Abstract
In recent years, there has been a development of new construction methods to conform the river environmental conservation. In this study, a new method called reinforced river dike is proposed as a new application of soil reinforcement technique. By using this method, it is possible to reduce the construction period and cost and to use vegetation on the slope. A real-scale field construction and field monitoring, a full-scale destruction experiment and a model experiment have been conducted to establish design and construction methods for the proposed reinforced river dike. A manual with respect to design and construction was made based on these experiment results. In this paper, the design manual is reported.
