SLOPE PROTECTION WITH FOUNDATION
SUPPORTED BY PILES

❑ Slope protection around the

abutment is often damaged due
to scouring, rapid river flow, or
improper construction, as shown
in the photo.

❑ Repair method for the slope

protection involves provision of
appropriate foundation at its
base. Broken Slope Protection

 SLOPE PROTECTION WITH FOUNDATION SUPPORTED BY PILES

APPLICATION CRITERIA

❑ Appropriate type will be selected from among slope protection works such
as stone masonry, grouted riprap and concrete masonry. The foundation
should be a concrete base with wooden pile as shown in figure below .
The wooden pile is normally driven to a minimum depth of 2.0 m. The
foundation is usually placed at 1.0 m level below the river bed.

GABION MATTRESS

Protection Works

11
GABION MATTRESS

❑ Local scouring around the pier

often occurs due to strong
stream flow, weak riverbed
materials and type of foundation
as shown in photo.

❑ Protection against local scouring

is intended to eliminate or
minimize future damage to the
bridge substructure. Local Scouring around Pier

12
 GABION MATTRESS

APPLICATION CRITERIA

❑ The scoured area need to be

excavated to a minimum 1.0 m
depth for the gabion mattress
installation. A filter fabric sheet should
be laid under the mattress. From
either edge of the pier shaft, the
extending width of the upper mattress
is ideally twice the estimated scour
depth while three times for the lower

 SLOPE PATCHING
❑ Slope patching is an effective method that can be adopted to
repair the limited damages on the masonry, during the early
stage of visible defects.

❑ The area to be removed shall extend to a minimum of 500 mm

around the perimeter of the damaged section.

❑ The protection bed

should be excavated to a
depth of 600 mm from
masonry surface, as
shown in Figure 10-3.

NYLON FIBER GABION

Protection Works

25
 NYLON FIBER GABION

❑ Gabion Mattress shall be applied

for this defect as standard repair
method. But if river bed shape is
complicated, it is very difficult to
put Gabion Mattress. In this
case, Nylon Fiber Gabion shall
be adopted as appropriate
selection for installation of anti-
scouring protection. Thus,
protection against local scouring
is intended to eliminate or
Local Scouring Around Pier
minimize future damage to the
bridge substructure.

26
 NYLON FIBER GABION
APPLICATION CRITERIA

Nylon Fiber Gabion is used for prevention of scour on pier foundation and other
underwater structures. It consists of a bag body formed by knitted fabric made
of nylon. The bag is filled with boulders or stones which are also used for
conventional box-type zinc-coated wire gabions. The nylon fiber gabion is
flexible and conforms to the shape where it is placed. The nylon netting allows
water passage through bag body ensuring that pressure of flowing water does
not affect the bag and keeping the scour prevention materials (boulders) from
being carried or swept away by the water.
