Conclusions
-
1.
The design, construction, and operation experience and the results of scientific investigations of slope revetments provide sufficient data for substantiating the values and characteristics of the wave action on revetments and soil foundations in slopes of hydraulic structures.
-
2.
The main tasks in further scientific research and design should be the development of new, more economical types of revetments, the elaboration of techniques for constructing slope revetments, and the introduction of wide mechanization for this type of labor-consuming work.

Additional information
From the Editors. One of the most important directions of hydraulic construction in our country is the search for reliable, economical, and technically expedient solutions for protecting the slopes of earth dams, dikes, and reservoir banks against destruction from wind waves. The cost of the protective work is commensurable with the cost of the earth structures themselves and amounts to a significant part of the cost of the constructed reservoirs. If account is taken of the volumes of protective work during the coming 15 years in connection with the planned large-scale construction of power, water-management, and hydraulic projects and the carrying out of measures for protection of the natural resources, then the significance of this problem becomes evident. Although in recent years some experience has been acquired with construction of protective structures in the Soviet Union, the problems of reducing the costs, volumes, labor, and materials-consumption and of introducing mechanization into the construction of these structures are being solved at an extremely insufficient pace. In this connection, important problems are to be solved by the design, scientific-research, and construction organizations working in the field of hydraulic construction. In publishing this article by V. Ya. Boddanov et al., which deals with the basic aspects of the problem of protecting structures and reservoir banks against wind waves, the Editors wish to request the specialists to express their ideas on the pages of this journal.
