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 roc

Significance and Use5.1 Gabions and mattresses, described in

12、 SpecificationsA 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

13、 mattresses. The rockalso has to withstand natural weathering processes during the1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D18 on Soil andRock and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D18.25 on Erosion andSediment Control Technology.Current edition approved Jan. 1, 2008.

Standard Sizes of Rock7.1 Guidance for measurement of rock sizes is given in TestMethod D 5519. Sizes of rock to fill gabions and mattresses arechosen on

Fabrication of sieves todetermine particle size is given in Test Method D 5519.7.2 Within each range of sizes, the rock shall be largeenough to prevent individua pieces from passing through themesh openings stated

19、in Specifications A 974 and A 975. Eachrange of sizes may allow for a variation of 5% oversize rock bynumber of particles, or 5% undersize rock by number ofparticles, or both.7.3 In all cases, the sizes of any oversize rock shall allow forthe placement of three or more layers of rock within eachgabi

In all cases, undersize and oversize rock shall beplaced within the interior of the gabion or mattress compart-ment and shall not be placed on the exposed surface of thestructur
