As for Rip-Rap, as well as looking at what the material needs to do, always check what materials are available locally. I was involved in a project , where no quarry within 200 miles could produce a material which would meet the Clients very exacting requirements, and this went on for a couple of years until the specification was changed.

I am now using ASTM D5519-94 for the Riprap materials test.
