Concrete Step Embankment Protection
The invention has particular application to providing erosion protection for embankment dams that may be subject to overtopping flows. The block shape uses the hydraulic forces to enhance its stability, thus greatly improving the protection provided and velocity range of application. The general field of application is in civil works where primarily earth and rockfill dams or embankments of slopes as steep as 2:1 would be allowed to pass flows over the downstream face by virtue of the protection provided by the invention.
