a. The area, determined as provided above, shall be paid for at the contract unit price per square foot of "Rock Retaining Wall." This price and payment shall constitute full compensation for furnishing, hauling, placing, preparing base, cleanup, and for all labor, material, equipment, tools, and incidentals necessary to complete the item. Geotextile fabric material placed beneath the riprap when shown on the drawings, shall be considered incidental and will not paid for separately.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 STONES - The stones used for this work shall be durable, angular, field, or quarry stones which are sound, hard, and free from laminations, fractures, or other structural defects. They shall be of such quality that they will not disintegrate on exposure to water or weathering.

A. Stones used shall be such that at least 60 percent of the individual stones shall have a volume of 8 cubic feet or more. Not more than 10 percent of the stone shall have a perimeter of less than 24 inches when measured on the smallest section.

B. Gradation Requirements for Riprap

by Mass Mass

(kg) Approximate Cubic Dimension(2)(3) inches

(1) Furnish spalls and rock fragments graded to provide a stable dense mass.

(2) The volume of a rock with these cubic dimensions has a mass approximately equal to the specified rock mass.

(3) Furnish rock with breadth and thickness at least one-third its length.

2.2 SOURCE - Riprap may be obtained from government owned pit, as shown on the drawings. Suitable rock generated in the construction of the spurs and family units may be used for constructing rock walls.

2.3 GEOTEXTILE FABRIC – See Section 2380.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 FOUNDATION - The slope or area upon which the riprap is to be placed shall be shaped to the required lines and grades. The surface shall be roughened to provide a surface to which the base stones will key and be firmly bedded. Foundation trenches shall be excavated at the toe of the slope or area to receive the base stones and provide a secure footing. These trenches shall be of sufficient width and extend a minimum of 6 inches below existing ground or the bed of the stream or wash. Slopes and trenches shall be approved before the placing of riprap is begun.

3.2 PLACING RIPRAP

A. Geotextile fabric shall be placed on the prepared slope, parallel with the centerline of the spur and campsite with edges overlapping, prior to the placement of the riprap stone. See Section 02380 for additional requirements. The stones shall be placed on the approved slope and in the trench to form the cross section desired. They shall be manipulated sufficiently to secure a roughly regular surface and mass stability. All stones shall be firmly keyed or bedded. Insofar as possible, the larger stones shall be placed at the bottom.

B. The voids between the larger stones shall be filled with smaller stones. This shall be done in such a manner that they do not prevent the interlocking of the larger stones. The finished surfaces which will remain exposed, shall present a broken joint surface on which voids are reasonably well filled.

C. When the rock retaining wall is completed, the area shall be cleaned up by removing all debris and material not used. Material excavated from foundation trenches, etc., shall be satisfactorily disposed of.
