The main feature of the book is that the design of slope protection measures has been dealt with by considering a wige range
of variation of the elements constituting a storm effect ( irregular wind waves ) accompained by an analysis of the limiting strength,deformation and other states of the structures. This has been achieved by applying new methods of calculating the affect of ice and other factors and applying generalised data relating to construction and maintenance of slope protection measures under different conditions of service.
Attention has also been devoted to engineering estimation of the causes and consequences of damage to protection
measures.This is a problem of topical interest becase there are no clearly defined criteria of assessing the hazard rating of various effects on the performance of structures,including the life of the materials used in construction.
The book contains recommendations on determination of initial data for various possible design of the protection measures
The book is meant for scientists,engineers and designers working in the fields of hydraulic engineering,construction of bank
protection measures engineering ecology and for personnel associated with maintenance of bank protection structures
