Concrete-Enhanced Synthetic Turf Revetment System—An Innovative Technology for Protecting Coastal Structures
The concrete-enhanced synthetic turf (CEST) revetment system is an innovative technology suited for use protecting coastal structures. It provides an aesthetically pleasing hardened revetment with exceptional armoring and hydraulic performance. This paper introduces the innovative technology of CEST revetment systems, and describes their performance and potential use for protecting coastal structures. This performance includes the results of an extensive full-scale testing program which has been successfully completed at Colorado State University–Engineering Research Center (CSU). The testing included steady-state overtopping, hydraulic jump, unsteady wave overtopping, large debris evaluation, and intentional damage to the system (pulverize infill and puncture holes). Lastly, example installations of the CEST system are presented in the paper.
