River and Channel Revetments - A Design Manual

This manual by Manuela Escarameia sets out the types of revetment available and gives guidance on choosing and designing them. Its scope covers both natural and artificial watercourses.

The book looks at two broad families. Some revetments rely on structural protection alone. Others pair that protection with vegetation, which can improve the environmental quality of a watercourse. Extensive use of photographs supports the text.

People who design, build or maintain the banks of rivers and channels will find the guidance on selection and design the most relevant part.
