PART 2- MATERIALS 2.1 STONE FOR RIPRAP A. Stone grouted riprap shall consist of field stones furnished in broad flat shapes to the maximum extent practicable. All stone shall be hard, sound, durable, highly resistant to weathering and shall be suitable as protection material for the intended purpose. Samples of the stone material proposed for use in the Works shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval prior to its use in the Work. The minimum apparent specific gravity shall be 2.5 and the maximum absorption shall be 6% when tested in accordance with AASHTO T85 - 85. The stone shall have an abrasion loss not greater than 45% when tested in accordance with AASHTO T96. Unless otherwise indicated on the drawings or directed by the Engineer, stones for grouted riprap shall generally weigh between 10 and 50 kg with at least 60% weighing more than 30 kg. Mortar for grouted riprap shall of 1:3 cement: sand mortar by volume. Water added shall be the least amount which will yield a mix of suitable consistency to ensure proper mortaring of riprap. Sand and cement shall conform with the relevant requirements of "Concrete and Concrete Mixes and Testing".

3.1

GROUTED RIPRAP A. Preparation of Slopes: The surfaces upon which grouted riprap is to be placed shall be excavated and compacted to the required grades and lines and a footing trench where specified, shall be excavated along the toe of the slopes, all as shown on the Drawings or as directed. All footing trenches and prepared areas shall be approved prior to placement of riprap or concrete. Subgrade or base shall be firm or compacted as directed. Stones shall be placed so as to minimize voids. Larger stones shall be placed on the lower levels of the slope. Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, all stones for grouted riprap shall be hand laid with the flat face upper most and parallel to the intended slope, starting from the toe and progressing upwards. The stones shall be laid as a single layer to form a relatively smooth surface. The surfaces of the stones shall be cleaned of all adhering dirt and clay before placing any mortar. The spaces between the stones shall be filled with concrete mortar which shall be vibrated, spaced, and rodded into place until the voids are completely filled to a minimum depth of 50 mm from the face of the riprap. Excess material and spillage shall be leaned from the front face of the riprap before hardening. The mortared riprap shall be protected from the sun and kept moist for at least 3 days after completion of mortar placement. END OF SECTION
