Riverbank and in-stream protection are crucial in numerous river stretches, where erosion of
banks and bed material instigates river course alterations, consequently leading to land and …

Results of a comparison between in-situ experiment and numerical modelling for flow
around permeable pile groins were presented. The groin sets consisted of porous-fence …

When using a groyne for bank protection purposes, obtaining a smooth reduction of velocity
from the mainstream to the bank with less turbulence around the structure is ideal. This can …

The paper reviews local engineering practices of erosion control in the coastal areas of the
Niger Delta, influenced by tidal activities, and analyses the physical conditions and criteria …

In this study, a new design of a precast spur dike is described, and a composite pile with
injected grout was introduced to enhance the toppling stability of the spur dike. To …

Based on ABAQUS finite element analysis software, the group piles and single piles under
different incoming flow angles are compared and calculated, the horizontal bearing …

Many pile-group groynes have been used on the rivers in Japan for bank pro tection
purposes. The type of pile arrangement in a group significantly affects downstream flow …

The factors affecting the performance of permeable groins are investigated by an analytical
approach supplemented with field observation. These factors are broadly divided into three …

River erosion processes in the Niger Delta and the effectiveness of locally applied remedial
measures is appraised, using information on channel geometry, flow velocity distribution …

Many pile-group groynes have been used along the Kiso and Yahagi Rivers in Japan for
bank protection purposes. Obviously, the arrangement of piles in a group significantly affects …
