ABSTRACT:
A flexible blanket for protection or stabilization of underwater structures and pipe lines, unstable beds and embankments, comprising a plurality of segments (1) arranged in one or more layers (10) each one segment in height, the segments of the or each layer (10) being disposed substantially contiguously at least at a median zone (2) of their height dimension, each segment (1) tapering substantially regularly from a maximum cross section at said medium zone (2) to a minimum cross section at one or both ends thereof, and each segment being so bonded to each adjacent segment in the region of their respective median zones that the segments are held substantially contiguously but are free to pivot relative one to another about the bond in so far as is permitted by said taper, the arrangement of the tapers being such that each segment is capable of pivoting with more than one degree of freedom.
