Hi
What are the necessary tests for rockfill with large boulders for sea shore ? i am guessing UCS , micro deval and Los Angeles tests as well as dry density perhaps ?

stockpile approval (evaluate size, weight, shape, specific gravity) at the quarry and check size again after transportation to the site to check for breakdown in transit
Soundness: check for absorption and run chemical soundness tests as well as wetting-drying test
freeze - thaw test might be necessary depending on your climate
For testing and QA / QC, recommend the following reference which covers the subject well:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

We have criteria for each of these tests and the rock will comply with these criteria, or be rejected. We'd also do a mine/quarry/pit inspection as there are criteria for the pit too.
Our road and bridge specs are on the internet.
