Application of gabions for strengthening marine coastal slopes

Abstract

The work considers the use of gravitational retaining walls made of gabion structures to strengthen the sea slopes. A wide range of possibilities for using gabions in construction is noted. An analysis of the technical and regulatory literature leads to the conclusion that the issue of using gabion structures to strengthen marine coastal slopes is not well understood. The paper describes the experience of using gabions to strengthen and protect against erosion of the sea slope from the moment of creation to complete destruction. A change in the state of the structure during long-term operation and their causes are recorded.
