Abstract:In the estuary area with heavy wind waves,polyurethane bonded aggregate(PBA)revetment is applied to the dams. By theoretical research,on-site monitoring,and physical model test,this paper studies structural stability,wave force distribution,and wave damping of PBA revetment. The results show:1)Under significant wave height of 2.0-3.0 m,PBA revetment with thickness of 20-30 cm remains stable when the slope ratio is 1:2. 2)PBA revetment can effectively reduce wave run-up with a designed roughness coefficient of 0.80-0.85. 3)The maximum wave pressure is not less than 0.5ρgH(the product of seawater density,gravitational acceleration,and wave height).
