Summary of Practice4.1 The designer shall establish the suitable sizes, weight,and quality of rock for project use, and examine sources toensure that the required rock is available

Significance and Use5.1 Gabions and mattresses, described in Specification

12、sA 974 and A 975, are placed on sites for stability and toprevent soil erosion. Their ability to function properly dependson their stability, which is partly dependent upon the rocksfilling them. Rock sizes should be chosed to prevent them fromfalling through the mesh of the gabions or mattresses. T

Standard Sizes of Rock7.1 Guidance for measurement of rock sizes is given in TestMethod D 5519. Sizes of
