Abstract
Gravity revetment solutions are a popular choice for shore protection at atolls under the harsh conditions of ocean waves. The precast revetment option is preferred to reduce shipping costs for materials and ensure quick construction. This article studied precast concrete revetments with ALB composite material reinforcement and conducted experimental research to determine the shear resistance characteristics of coral sand and the friction characteristics of concrete materials with coral sand. Based on the experimental parameters, the authors calculated the stability of the ALB embankment structure against the effects of wave loads during storms. With experimental data obtained from coral sand samples prepared with equivalent density in the field, the results showed that the stability coefficient of the revetment is significantly higher than the one obtained from the traditional calculation concept.
