Recent investigations and results from tests on the performance of erosion protection systems in Open Stone Asphalt (OSA) on man-made embankments during overtopping conditions are presented. The paper also includes state of the art mix-designs / compositions, installation routines and experience generated from projects in Northern Europe. An analytical statical concept for revetments is presented, which was developed in a research project at University of Karlsruhe, Germany.
