DESCRIPTION:
Strictly For Combat Purposes This guide contains limited information on the construction of dams, retaining walls, slope protection and related structures using rock materials. Technical details are presented in a "rule of thumb" format without engineering background. There are details on materials selection and testing, inspection procedures and measurements. This is probably a good guide for constructing rock devices in adverse field conditions but provides little in the way
As a result, the guidance in this manual was developed specifically to be applied on those projects requiring large riprap, jetty stone, and cap stone. This manual establishes criteria and presents guidance for the selection, evaluation, and use of large-stone materials in construction. As individual stone sizes increase as a function of design requirements, natural and man-made disparities and flaws in rock have an increasingly greater influence on performance and time dependent durability. However, the principles and guidance found in this manual may be applied to any stone requirements greater in size than concrete aggregate.. Construction with Large Stone summari
