Abstract: A series of physical model tests were conducted on stable thickness of concrete slab revetment on the inner slope. The objective of this study is to discuss the relationship among stable thickness of concrete slab, average overtopping discharge and inner slope gradient according to the damage process of different slopes and different thicknesses of revetments. The result shows that there is a linear correlation between stable relative thickness and dimensionless average overtopping discharge with the same slope. Relative thickness decreases as the slope gets gentler. Equations are presented for stable thickness of concrete slab revetment on the inner slope with different gradients. It can provide reference for dike design
