The riprap material shall conform to the following additional requirements. Material shall be free from cracks, seams, non- mineralized or other defects that would tend to increase its deterioration from natural causes. Stone for riprap shall have the following properties: 1. 2. D. .

Absorption of not more than 2% when tested by ASTM C127-87 (1999).

B. C.

Riprap shall conform to the size listed in the table.

The greatest dimension of 50 percent of the stones shall be at least two-thirds but not more than 1-1/2 times the diameter of the average size. Neither the breadth nor thickness of any piece of riprap shall be less than one-third its length. Material shall be of shapes that will form a stable protection structure of required depth. Rounded boulders or cobbles shall not be used.

F.

Stones shall consist of durable, sound, hard, angular rock meeting the following requirements for durability absorption ratio, soundness test, and abrasion test: Durability Absorption Ratio Greater than 23 Less than 10 Acceptability Passes only if Durability Index is 52 or greater Fails Durability Index (Coarse) Durability Absorption Ratio = % absorption + 1

G.

The durability index and percent absorption shall be determined by AASHTO T 210 and AASHTO T 85, respectively. The minimum apparent specific gravity of the stones shall be 2.5 as determined by AASHTO T 85. Stones shall have a wear not greater than 40 percent, when tested per ASTM C 535. Control of gradation shall be by visual inspection. The CONTRACTOR shall furnish a sample of the proposed gradation of at least five tons or 10 percent of the total riprap weight, whichever is less. If approved, the sample may be incorporated into the finished riprap at a location where it can be used as a frequent reference for judging the gradation of the remainder of riprap. Any difference of opinion between the DISTRICT and the CONTRACTOR shall be resolved by dumping and checking the gradation of two random truckloads of stones. Arranging for and the costs of mechanical equipment, a sorting site, and labor needed in checking gradation shall be the CONTRACTORs responsibility. The acceptability of the stones will be determined by the DISTRICT prior to placement.

Long-chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85 percent by weight polypropylene, polyesters, or polyamides. b. Filaments resistant to deterioration by ultraviolet light, oxidation, and heat exposure. c. Do not use reclaimed or recycled fibers or polymer to the formulation. 3. Form geotextile into a network such that the filaments or yarns retain dimensional stability relative to each other, including the selvages. 4. The geotextile physical properties shall equal or exceed the minimum average roll values listed below. Values shown are for the weaker principal direction.

2.03 GRANULAR BEDDING: The CONTRACTOR shall place a blanket of bedding material beneath permanent riprap materials to the lines and grades shown on the drawings. Stone for use in granular bedding shall weigh not less than 135 lbs/cf (saturated surface dry). The material shall be composed of tough, durable particles, shall be reasonably free from thin, flat and elongated pieces, and shall contain neither organic matter nor soft, friable particles in quantities considered objectionable by the DISTRICT.

The CONTRACTOR shall recombine the riprap stone sample used for gradation analysis, transport to the project site, and place in a location acceptable to DISTRICT. Field control of riprap gradation will be by visual comparison of the representative sample to arriving loads. Arriving loads not bearing reasonable similarity to the sample will be rejected. 1. CONTRACTOR may, at his option, arrange for gradation analysis of rejected loads at the project site. Should the analysis indicate the rejected stone meets the requirements of this specification; all reasonable costs for such analysis will be reimbursed to the CONTRACTOR. In no instance will stone of a coloration or appearance dissimilar to that in the sample be accepted.

The CONTRACTOR shall clear the subgrade of sticks, stones, debris and other materials that could puncture the overlying geotextile. The finished subgrade shall not vary from design grade by more than 2 IN at any location. Sub aqueous Installation: The CONTRACTOR shall excavate the subgrade to the lines and grades shown. Tolerance shall be plus 0.0 FT to minus 0.5 FT in the canal invert, and plus or minus 0.5 FT on the canal banks.

The CONTRACTOR shall proceed placing the riprap upon completion of geotextile installation and after receiving approval of DISTRICT to proceed. The CONTRACTOR shall place riprap in accordance with the following. Stone shall be placed in such a manner as to produce a reasonably well-graded mass with the minimum practicable percentage of voids. 1. Place to full course thickness in one operation in a manner to avoid displacing or puncturing geotextile. a. 2. Stone shall not be dropped from a height greater than 1 FT above the geotextile. Finished riprap shall be free from objectionable pockets of small stones and clusters of larger stones. Hand place or adjust if necessary to secure the desired results.

B.

C. Surface Tolerances: 1. Dry Installation: The finished stone surface shall not vary from design grade by more than 3 IN at any location, except that any extreme of the tolerance shall not be continuous over an area greater than 100 square feet. Sub aqueous Installation: The finished stone surface shall not vary from design grade by more than plus 1.0 FT, minus 0.5 FT at any location; either extreme of the tolerance shall not be continuous over an area greater than 225 square feet.
