Source sentences:
text: • a rough, semiporous revetment acts to dissipate the wave energy, resulting in less scour of the fronting beach than do vertical seawalls; • revetments tend to reflect less of the wave energy than do vertical seawalls, the reflection potentially being a problem as it can result in intense turbulence due to wave collisions, also producing erosion across the beach; • revetments generally do not succumb to rapid and complete failure, as seawalls are apt to do during storms; and • they are more easily maintained by the placement of additional rock.
