Effective with the December 2018 Letting 335 2019 Standard Spec ifications Section 606 Riprap

606.1Description

(1)This section describes furnishing and placing riprap.

606.2Materials

606.2.1 Riprap Stone

(1)Furnish durable field or quarry stone that is sound, hard, dense, resistant to the acti on of air and water,

and free of seams, cracks, or othe r structural defects. Use sto ne pieces with a length and width no more than twice the thickness. D o not place material without th e engineer's approval of the stone quality, size, and shape.

(2)The department will determine the average dimension of stone p ieces by averaging measurements of

thickness, width, and length. F urnish stones conforming to the size requirements for the riprap grade the plans show. Size requirements are expressed as the percent of the gross in-place riprap volume occupied by stones within aver age dimension size ranges for eac h riprap grade as follows: AVERAGE DIMENSION RANGES FOR EACH RIPRAP GRADE FRACTION OF GROSS LIGHT MEDIUM HEAVY EXTRA-HEAVY IN-PLACE RIPRAP RIPRAP RIPRAP RIPRAP RIPRAP VOLUME OCCUPIED inches inches inches inches BY STONES >16 >20 >25 >30 0% 11 - 13 14 - 16 18 - 20 22 - 25 10% - 14% 9 - 11 11 - 14 14 - 18 18 - 22 15% - 21% 4 - 9 5 - 11 6.5 - 14 8 - 18 20% - 28% <4 <5 <6.5 <8 5% - 7% <1 <1 <1 <1 2% or less

(3)The contractor may sub stitute waste concrete slabs for stone. Furnish sound concrete, free of

protruding reinforcement, and co nforming to the size requiremen ts specified for stone. 606.2.2 Riprap Grout

(1)Furnish an air-entrained morta r or concrete to fill the voids between riprap stones in grouted riprap.

Conform to the physical requirem ents for component materials as specified in 501.2 except furnish fine aggregate or a combination o f fine and coarse aggregate wi th a gradation that results in a grout with a consistency that allows c omplete filling of the riprap v oids.

(2)Certify that the grout conforms to the following mixture requi rements:

- Contains 470 pounds or more of portland cement per cubic yard of grout. The contractor may substitute class C fly ash for up to 30 percent of the required portland c ement. - Contains only enough water to a chieve a 3-inch slump. Any additional workability required to completely fill the riprap voids must be achieved with admixture without increa sing the w/cm ratio. - Contains 9 percent or more air for mixes with a nominal top s ize aggregate less than 3/8 inch or 7 percent or more air for a mix with 3/8 inch or larger aggregate.

606.3Construction

606.3.1 General

(1)Prepare the bed for the riprap by excavating, shaping the slopes, and constructing the toe for riprap

installation. After placing the riprap, restore the surface of adjacent work and dispose of surplus material. 606.3.2 Placing Light Riprap

(1)If laying stone above the waterl ine, place it by hand. Lay it with close, broken joints and firmly bed it in

the slope and agains t the adjoining stones . Lay the stones perp endicular to the slope with ends in contact. Compact the riprap thoroughly as construction progresses. Make the finished surface even and tight. Place larger stone in l ower courses. Chink spaces be tween stones by firmly ramming spalls into place. If placing riprap o ver geotextile, use type R and c onform to 645.3.1.6 .

(2)Unless specified otherwise, make riprap at least one foot thic k, measured perpendicular to the slope.

(3)Do not place riprap against, or in contact with, concrete surf ace before the end of the concrete’s curing

and protection period. 606.3.3 Placing Medium, Heavy, and Extra-Heavy Riprap

(1)The contractor may place medi um, heavy, and extra-heavy riprap by any mechanical means that

produce a completed job within reasonable tolerances of the typ ical section the plans show. Limit

Effective with the December 2018 Letting 336 2019 Standard Spec ifications handwork to the quantity necessary to fill large voids or to co rrect segregated areas. If placing riprap over geotextile, use type HR and conform to 645.3.1.7 .

(2)Unless specified otherwise, mak e medium riprap at least 18 inc hes thick, heavy riprap at least 24

inches thick, and extra-heavy ri prap at least 30 inches thick. 606.3.4 Placing Grouted Riprap

(1)If the plans specify using grouted riprap, lay the stone as sp ecified above under 606.3.2 or 606.3.3 . Fill

the spaces between the stones wi th cement mortar. Use sufficien t mortar or concrete to completely fill voids, except leave the faces urface of the stone exposed.

(2)Place grout from the bottom to the top and then sweep the surf ace with a stiff broom. After completing

the grouting, cure the su rface as specified in 415.3.12 except substitute type 1-D curing compound as specified for structures in 502.2.6 . During cold weather , protect the concrete as specified in 415.3.13 for concrete pavement.

606.4Measurement

(1)The department will measure the bid items under this section b y the cubic yard acceptably completed,

measured as the volume within t he limiting dimensions the contr act designates or the engineer establishes in the field. 606.5 Payment

(1)The department will pay for measured quantities at the contrac t unit price under the following bid

items: ITEM NUMBER DESCRIPTION UNIT

606.0100 Riprap Light CY

606.0200 Riprap Medium CY

606.0300 Riprap Heavy CY

606.0600 Grouted Riprap Medium CY

606.0700 Grouted Riprap Heavy CY

606.0800 Grouted Riprap Extra-Heavy CY

(2)Payment for the bid items under this section is full compensation for preparing the bed, providing and

placing riprap, restoring adjacen t work, and disposing of surpl us material. The department will pay for excavation in excess of the approx imate volume of earth occupie d by the riprap under the Excavation Common bid item as specified under 205.5 .

(3)Payment for the Grouted Riprap bi d items also includes placing and curing mortar.
