Abstract:
Gabion has long been used as a
transition method of construction and
engineering for protecting river banks
from erosion. In the beginning lumps
of rock were stuffed in tubular shaped
wire netting. Later the bed mattress
type wire netting (rectangualr cube)
was developed. and this has been used
not only for river but also for hardening
the shoulder of roads and the face of
slopes to prevent landslide.
