Riprap Stability on Earth Embankments Tested in Large- and Small-scale Wave Tanks

Book Description
Tests of models in wave tanks were made to determine the effectiveness of several riprap designs in protecting embankment slopes from wave action. Models ranging from about 1:20 scale to almost full scale were tested with waves up to about 6 feet high. A range of wave periods were tested, embankment slopes varied from 1 on 2 to 1 on 5, and armor layers were composed of quarried stone, glacial boulders and tribars. Relationships that define the effect of wave height, wave period, embankment slopes and Reynolds number on size of stable armor units were experimentally determined and are given in graphs and tables.

Large Wave Tank Tests of Riprap Stability

Book Description
Tests of riprap stability under wave attack were conducted at prototype scale in the large wave tank at the U.S. Army Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC). Wave heights ranging from 1.4 to 6 feet and wave periods ranging from 2.8 to 11.3 seconds, were used. Three embankment slopes, 1 on 1.5, 1 on 3.5, and 1 on 5, were tested. The riprap stone was a diorite placed on the embankments by dumping. The median stone weights of the riprap ranged from 27 to 120 pounds. The study showed that wave period, because of its influence on breaker characteristics, has a significant effect on riprap stability. Wave conditions which produce the lowest riprap stability are predictable and are associated with a collapsing-type breaker.
