830.1 Riprap

A.Riprap: Stone for riprap will be hard and durable and will have a minimum weight of 155 pounds per cubic foot. Riprap may be ledge rock or field stone If field stone is utilized for Class B or larger, the stone will have a minimum of 2 crushed faces as defined under SD 211. Stone will be free from overburden, spoil, shale, and organic material. The riprap stone will meet the following gradation requirements: ClassRock Size*1 in feet Rock Size in poundsPercent of Riprap Smaller Than A1.30 0.95 0.40200 B1.80 1.30 0.40500 C2.25 1.80 0.951000 75100 D2.85 2.25 1.802000 500100 E3.60 2.85 2.254000 1000100 F4.50 3.60 2.858000 2000100 *1Based on a specific gravity of 2.65 and spherical shape. The riprap class is the median particle weight with 50% of the material smaller and 50% of the material larger. Each load of riprap will be well graded from the smallest to the maximum size specified.
