Abstract:Coastal revetment has a main function to protect eroding shorelines. Sometimes, the revetment is considered ineffective and harmful to the environment. This article presents 3 case studies in Thailand where stepped concrete revetments were successfully implemented. If theoretically accurately designed, the revetments will not only protect the coastlines but also enhance community’s well-being. The case studies at the Suan-Son beach, the Pra-Ae beach, and the Laem-Sadet beach advocate such a claim. When the inc… Show more
“…A careful engineering design of the revetment crest by installing a parapet could effectively reduce the overtopping discharge, solving the abovementioned problem [ 62 ]. Reference [ 67 ] reported three successful cases of protecting Thailand beaches with stepped concrete revetment equipped with crest parapets.…”

“…Beach beauty is a personal preference. Some coastal practitioners agree that the revetments enhance beach aesthetics [ 16 , 67 ], while some consider them an eye sore [ 18 ]. Reference [ 66 ] stated that repairing an aged revetment and topping it with a new pedestrian walkway was a preferred alternative to promote recreational activity and enhance an aesthetic view.…”
