4130. Revetment Stone, ~~and~~ Erosion Stone, and Gabion Stone

4130.01 REVETMENT DESCRIPTION.

A. Broken limestone, dolomite, quartzite, or granite from an approved source as described in Materials I.M. 409.

A minimum of 50% of the stone shall be composed of beds or slabs more than 5 inches (125 mm) thick.

A minimum of 10% of the beds or slabs shall be thick enough to produce the required weight (mass) of either the stone or concrete with the greatest dimension not more than two times the smallest dimension.

B. When the source test plot or service history is not available, meet the following requirements for virgin stone crushed to 3/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch (19 mm to 37.5 mm) nominal maximum sizes:

~~Erosion Stone~~ ~~C Freeze~~ 15 ~~Iowa 211, Method C~~

Note: Revetment may pass either Alumina or A-Freeze for compliance.

Abrasion loss for all revetment and erosion stone not to exceed 50% when tested according to AASHTO T 96.
C. Recycled PCC or broken concrete meeting the requirements of Materials I.M. 210 may be used as revetment with the approval of the Engineer.

All reinforcement material shall be cut flush with the flat surface of the concrete.

A minimum of 50% of the broken concrete revetment shall be composed of slabs more than 5 inches (125 mm) thick.

A minimum of 10% of the slabs shall be thick enough to produce the required weight (mass) of the concrete with the greatest dimension not more than 2 times the smallest dimension.

No petroleum based or HMA material shall be included in revetment material.

4130.02 REVETMENT GRADATION.
Gradation compliance is determined by visual inspection, monitored by the Engineer. The Engineer may designate material as too fine or too coarse.

A. Class A Revetment.

Nominal top size of 400 pounds (180 kg).

At least 75% of the stones shall weigh more than 75 pounds (35 kg).

None less than 50 pounds (25 kg).

Stones shall have at least one flat face with one dimension at least 15 inches (375 mm).

B. Class B Revetment.

Nominal top size of 650 pounds (300 kg).

At least 20% of the stones shall weigh more than 500 pounds (225 kg).

At least 50% of the stones shall weigh more than 275 pounds (125 kg).

At least 90% of the stones shall weigh more than 25 pounds (10 kg).

C. Class D and Class E Revetment.

Nominal top size of 250 pounds (115 kg).

At least 50% of the stones shall weigh more than 90 pounds (40 kg).

At least 90% of the stones shall weigh more than 5 pounds (2 kg).

The Engineer may approve using riprap containing material larger than 250 pounds (115 kg).

Additional processing is not required for Class D material. After visual inspection and prior to loading, the Engineer may designate material as too fine or too coarse. Mechanically process Class E material to remove material 3 inches (75 mm) and less.

4130.03 EROSION STONE DESCRIPTION.
Broken limestone, dolomite, quartzite, granite, or broken concrete with steel removed.

4130.04 EROSION STONE GRADATION.
Gradation compliance is determined by visual inspection, monitored by the Engineer. The Engineer may designate material as too fine or too coarse.

Nominal 6 inch (150 mm) size.
100% passing the 9 inch (225 mm) screen.
100% retained on the 3 inch (75 mm) screen.

There are no quality requirements for recycled concrete.

4130.06 GABION STONE DESCRIPTION.
Broken stone or gravel boulders meeting the requirements below. Use stone and boulders from sources similar in geological origin.

4130.07 GABION STONE AND MATTRESS GRADATION.
Process stone or boulders for gabions and mattresses to sizes ranging from 4 inches to 8 inches (100 mm to 200 mm) in nominal dimensions. Three inches to 5 inches (76.0 mm to 127 mm) is recommended for mattresses.

4130.08 GABION STONE QUALITY.
Meet requirements of Table 4130.08. Sources with Revetment A, B, or E approvals need not meet these requirements.
