ASTM D6092-14e1 PDF Download

ASTM D6092-14e1 is a standard practice that provides size designations and maximum ranges for stone used in erosion control. The purpose of this standard is to establish a common reference for the design team, consumer, and producer when specifying stone materials for erosion control. The design team is responsible for conducting a materials survey and testing to identify suitable quarry sources and ensure that the required stone gradations can be produced. It should be noted that not all sources may be able or willing to produce the required gradations, so only sources approved by the design team should be considered for the project.

The standard size designations provided in this guide are suitable for various erosion control structures such as jetties, revetments, bulkheads, bridges, and slope protection for embankments and dams. However, the guide does not include recommendations for stone size selection, durability, placement techniques, filter/bedding materials, or geotextiles. These aspects are beyond the scope of this standard and should be addressed separately.

It is important to understand that this standard practice does not recommend a specific course of action but offers an organized collection of information and options. It should be used in conjunction with professional judgment and consideration of the unique aspects of each project. This standard is not intended to replace the standard of care in professional services and should be applied with due diligence. The ASTM consensus process has approved this document as a standard.
