ASTM D6092-21 PDF Download

The ASTM D6092-21 standard provides guidelines for determining the size designations and maximum ranges for standard sizes of riprap, spalls, or bedding used in erosion control applications. It specifically focuses on slope protection of dam embankments, streambank erosion control, and bridge piers and abutments.

The standard excludes sizes used for outer harbor structures such as breakwalls, revetments, and confined diked disposal structures, for which stone sizes range between 5 and 25 tons, or structures that require cut dimensions for layed-up structures.

It is important to note that this standard does not recommend a specific course of action but instead offers an organized collection of information and options. It emphasizes that professional judgment, education, and experience should be used in conjunction with this practice. Additionally, the standard acknowledges that not all aspects of the practice may be applicable in all circumstances.

It is essential to understand that this standard does not replace the standard of care in professional services and should be applied with consideration for the unique aspects of each project. The use of the word "Standard" in the title of the document signifies that it has been approved through the ASTM consensus process.
