The publication of "Mechanical design methods for revetments" by Japan Institute of Construction Engineering (1999) finally paved the way for a shift to the mechanically rational revetment design system. When applying the design methods, properly identifying effective information based on the various data accumulated on the river, and taking rational design measures that satisfy the performance requirements in the field are left to design engineers.
This study uses the Chikuma River, one of Japan’s rapid rivers, as a model, to identify the methods of establishing the design conditions for specific revetments based on channel characteristics surveys and the effectiveness of hydraulic model tests for checking the mechanical stability of revetments. The objective is to improve design procedures for revetments.
