In view of the problem that there is no unified criterion for the design of ecological revetment limbers,we carry out research on the parameter design method of ecological revetment limbers by means of theoretical analysis.Taking the distribution of wave energy as the breakthrough point,the calculation formula of wave height behind limbers is derived,and the simplification of engineering application for this formula is proposed.The design method of the parameters of the ecological revetment is presented,an engineering example verification is performed.The results show that the simplified method can meet the engineering precision demand and provide design thought for similar ecological revetment limbers engineering.
