Soft‑structure revetment technology seamlessly integrates underwater shoreline protection with bank stabilization. The submerged component consists of composite reinforced geotextile sand‑filled pipe bags combined with riprap ballast, while the above‑water structure is an improved reinforced concrete frame beam supported by precast concrete lock‑block anchors. This system not only provides robust support for the soft‑structure revetment on the slope but also helps protect the bank itself. By employing a flexible lap‑joint design, the technology enables a highly adaptable, integrated structure that better accommodates underwater topography, prevents erosion of bank soils, and overcomes the limitations of rigid jointing methods. Moreover, since the soft‑structure revetment incorporates belt‑type pipe bags, it achieves self‑weight stability and ensures comprehensive coverage of the riverbed. Therefore, the upper…

Since the flexible mattress is filled with belt‑type geotextile tubes, it is self‑weighting and stable, providing continuous coverage of the riverbed. Consequently, the design criteria for the weight of the upstream rockfill can be relaxed. 50%, and its construction cost is significantly lower than that of a conventional rockfill embankment. The flexible revetment–anti‑scour dike structure utilizes locally sourced materials, employing sand and gravel as the fill for geotextile tubes, thereby substantially reducing cement consumption. Stone material usage is less than one-third of that required by conventional riprap placement, resulting in substantial stone savings and effective protection of the ecological environment.

Research on soft revetment technology has reached a relatively advanced stage. In particular, the new soft revetment technique employing window‑pane‑type composite reinforced geotextile sand‑filled tube bags has attained an advanced level. At present, this soft revetment protection technology has been granted an invention patent.

Applications of flexible revetments: Compared with traditional shoreline protection methods, flexible revetment technology offers advantages such as structural integrity, flexibility, durability, ease of controlling construction progress and quality, moderate costs, resource efficiency, and environmental friendliness.

Bank‑slope collapse mitigation is a fundamental task. A new trend in bank‑protection management involves actively substituting natural construction materials with advanced composites, emphasizing the structural integrity of bank‑stabilization systems, replacing manual labor with mechanized operations to ensure both quality and schedule, and enhancing emergency response capabilities. Soft‑matrix revetment technology aligns with the future direction of bank‑collapse management. From the perspectives of remediation effectiveness and overall benefits, this technology is poised for broader application in river restoration, flood control, navigation, and other related fields.
