Performance of gabion nets for riverbank flood control
Gabion netting for riverbank protection is a flexible structure with excellent adaptability to deformation. During an earthquake, the loose filler material within the structure will self-adjust to adapt to the deformation, preventing the entire structure from being destroyed. Furthermore, this structure has strong erosion resistance; even if the loose filler material inside the gabion netting shifts slightly under high-speed water flow, it will not be carried away by the current but will adjust itself to reach a new equilibrium. At the same time, the connection strength between the unit structures further enhances its robustness.
