The major design considerations of gabion wall for stream bank

Gabions are an extension of the rock-fill principle of providing a protective lining to river beds and banks. They can provide effective protection against the action of moderate wave action. This paper gives summary of technical guidance for the design of gabion wall used in stream bank. Before carrying out the design of gabion wall, the designer should ensure that the geotechnical condition under the foundation of the gabion wall should have been properly investigated to facilitate the erosion control design.
