End-Result Specifications for Rock Revetment Payment Adjustments
The quality of a rock revetment is completely dependent upon the integrity of the rock specimen as measured by several attributes. Rock that does not meet engineered specifications is much more likely to move out of position or degrade sooner than intended, thus compromising the protected area long before the engineered service life is reached. Since higher-quality rock is more difficult and expensive to obtain, and rejected rock can cause costly construction delays, many times both contractors and engineers exhibit a tendency to soften the specified standards to some degree in order to continue work. This paper presents a modular pay adjustment system for rock revetment specifications by predicting the amount of material that will be lost prematurely because of rock that does not meet certain design criteria. The results suggest that pay factors based on gradation or other quality indicators be implemented into specifications for rock revetment.
