	TOSC Information Brief
		A revetment is a type of structure that is built along an embankment, shoreline or steep facing slope in order to protect it against erosion generated by wave or current action.
		Revetments have been built along the shorelines of many lakes, rivers and oceans to protect a water-shoreline interface from excessive erosion (such as between the CKD pile and Lake Huron).
		The revetment should not be seen as a permanent solution to the problem of bulk movement of CKD material into Lake Huron, given that the revetment has a limited life span.

	Grid matrix system including interconnected revetment blocks - Patent 5429451
		In addition to the interconnection between the blocks allowing for horizontal adjustability between adjacent revetment blocks, the interconnection between the blocks furthermore allows the bottom surface of one block to be angularly displaced relative to the bottom surface of an adjacent block while maintaining an interconnection between the blocks.
		The revetment block 10 is comprised of a precast grid body 12 which is preferably constructed of concrete because of its cost and availability and because of the function the revetment block is to perform.
		The revetment block 100 is comprised of a precast grid body 112 including a top surface 114, a bottom surface 116, and an outer edge 118 extending between surfaces 114 and 116 to define a perimeter for the grid body 112.

	Revetment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Revetments are structures placed on banks or cliffs in such a way as to absorb the energy of incoming water or explosives.
		Materials eroded from the slope before construction of a revetment may have nourished a neighboring area, however.
		Accelerated erosion there after the revetment is built can be controlled with a beach-building or beach-protecting structure such as a groyne or a breakwater.

	Tree Revetments For Streambank Stabilization
		By the time the revetment trees have decayed, the bank should be stabilized by the roots of the living trees.
		It is best to cut live trees for revetments; trees which have been dead for some time are usually brittle and may break apart as they are moved into place and anchored.
		Revetments should be inspected after floods and any opening repaired before they become larger.

	How to install a cedar revetment - Harpeth River Watershed Association
		The top of the bank may be tilled or shoveled to allow the loosened soil to be moved down to the top of the cedar revetment.
		The revetment is the new toe and the top of the bank is now farther back, kind of like a line of steps up from the stream.
		The top of the cedar revetment (with all this new soil) is planted with water loving native trees and shrubs that grow fast, seeded and covered with an erosion control mat to keep the soil in place until everything starts growing in the spring.

	Tom Tunney, 44th Ward Alderman
		My primary concerns in relation to revitalization of the revetment between Belmont and Diversey are 1) Preservation of the aesthetic beauty and structural integrity of this valuable lakefront area, 2) Accessibility to the lake and lakefront park areas, and 3) Safety of the public.
		The elevation of the revetment section between Belmont and Diversey will be 1 ½ feet lower than the height of the revetment north of Belmont.
		The revetment plan will address drainage problems in the parkland behind the rocks that have caused frequent flooding and threatened the topsoil and grass of the park areas.

	CWFF Dictionary Of Fortification: Dictionary: Revetment, Hurdle
		hurdle revetment was a sort of woven wall composed of flexible branch rods randed around picket poles driven at short intervals along the foot of an interior slope.
		This procedure was repeated, rod by rod, until the revetment reached the height of the interior crest.
		Hurdles were good for an easy revetment job that would not have to last very long, but were not suitable for field works that would be used for a prolonged period of time.

	December 2001 Engineer Update
		Both rivers have benefited from revetment operations to control flooding and erosion and to enhance the environment along their shores.
		In both countries, the revetment is built in the "dry." The river bank is graded to the desired slope, and the material placed riverward to form a temporary levee.
		Also, after the Japanese complete their revetment, the material in the temporary levee is used to cover the revetment area with about 18 inches of dirt, and grass is planted to complete the project.

		For a one-row revetment, the number of anchors = 1 + number of trees in one row = _______ anchors.
		Estimating the amount of cable or wire needed, especially for multiple row revetments, is difficult considering the difference between tree species on how much they compact when wrapped with cable.
		If the revetment needs to cover an eroded area 5 ft. high, and the average tree crown diameter is 2 ft., then the revetment needs to have 3 rows [5 ÷ 2 = 2.5 ' 3] (item 5C).

	SHORETEC Concrete Revetment Systems
		The term "articulated" implies the ability of individual blocks of the system to conform to changes in grade while remaining interlocked or otherwise restrained by virtue of the block geometry and/or additional system components such as cable, geotextiles or anchors.
		The interlocking property provided by the special shapes of the concrete revetment blocks also allow for expansion and contraction.
		They are installed as pre-assembled mats on top of selected geotextiles and act as a soil revetment.

	Revetment
		Revetment operations are primarily the preparation for, and placement of articulated concrete mattress (ACM) from the water's edge, out to design limits in conjunction with stone paving, from water's edge to top bank; which stabilizes the river bank and maintains the proper navigation channel alignment.
		This operation is normally done from mid-July through mid-November (during low water) and involves men and equipment from Cairo, IL to below New Orleans, LA on the Mississippi River and along the Atchafalaya River.
		The Memphis District's inner unit of the Bank Grading Unit, clearing and snagging, is the first field activity of Revetment Operations.

	CWFF Dictionary Of Fortification: Dictionary: Revetment, Plank (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		A plank revetment was constructed by planting 4 inch square posts about 75 inches long on the banquette tread along the foot of the interior crest at 4 foot intervals and nailing planks onto the parapet side of the posts.
		Its effectiveness did not necessarily depend on the quality and finish of the materials employed; a hastily thrown up rough raw timber post and plank revetment worked as well as a finely finished revetment made from well seasoned milled scantling and planks.
		his revetment method was sufficiently common that a great deal of photographic evidence is available that both illustrates and helps explain the diverse variations in revetments constructed using a combination of posts as the load bearing members and planks or timbers to retain soil of the parapet.
