Design Standards No. 13: Embankment Dams. Chapter 7. Riprap Slope Protection
The upstream slopes of embankment dams and dikes typically require protection against the damaging effects of wave action, surface runoff, weathering, ice, and floating debris. The standard presents guidelines for site-specific design of riprap slope protection. It also presents a discussion of the major considerations and procedures for design and construction of riprap slope protection to achieve acceptable performance consistent with reasonable construction and maintenance costs.
