Abstract:The wave is the main dynamic factor in design of revetment engineering.In practical projects,the steep slope is formed by dredging and it makes a significant change in the wave form,which produces a different impact on the revetment structure.In order to explore the regularity of wave overtopping and wave pressure under forces of different wave forms,we measure the wave height,overtopping and wave pressure of slope revetment in a wave flume to study the influence of steep slope and mild slope on the revetment.The results indicate that the impacts of wave on the revetment differs a lot with the steep slope and mild slope.For the steep slope,waves are mainly broken on the middle of the revetment.While for the mild slope,waves are mainly broken on the upper of the revetment.The wave height,overtopping and uplift wave force of steep slope are relatively smaller than those of the mild slope.But the horizontal wave force is larger than that of the mild slope.The measured horizontal force is much larger than the calculated result by the design code because of the influence of arc section while the uplift force from the test is close to that calculated by the code.
