A Formula for the Relationship between Penetration Depth, Viscosity of Asphalt Grouting and Diameter of Stone, Apply for Designing Asphalt-Grouted Stone Revetments

摘要

Where suitable rock of only a limited size is scarce, asphalt grouting can be used to provide an impermeable armour layer of greater resistance to wave action than the component rock alone. Asphalt-grouted stone revetments provide a flexible and durable cover layer which can resists abrasion, is indifferent to chemical attack by salt water etc. The paper presents the research on the relationship between the depth of asphalt grouting penetration with the diameter of stone and asphalt viscosity to apply for designing asphalt-grouted stone revetments to protect sea dykes.
