USE OF RIPRAP FOR BANK PROTECTION. FINAL LITERATURE REVIEW REPORT
The results of a literature review conducted to assess the state of knowledge on the subject of streambank protection as it relates to the design of riprap bank protection are presented. Subject areas covered by this literature review report include types of riprap, design considerations (including erosion mechanisms, open channel flow concepts, riprap design parameters, and equilibrium concepts), design concepts for rock riprap (including extent of protection, slide slopes, armor material characteristics, stone gradation, blanket thickness, armor size, and filter design), and design concepts for other riprap types (including rock windrow, rock and wire mattress, gabions, rubbles, pre-formed sections, grouted riprap, and concrete slabs). Based on this review, recommended guidelines for the design of riprap revetments are presented. In addition, a bibliography list, annotated bibliography, and a glossary of design terms are included.
