Sizing of riprap can be defined by either its average weight (W50) or average diameter/length (D50). Traditionally grading and size distribution of riprap is determined by cost efficiency and design stability. If the grading specification allows too many stones that are below the calculated size for achieving hydraulic stability (based on hydraulic forcing the riprap must endure) it will result in particle displacement, that could develop a failure or significant stability loss of the sea defences. On the other hand, a grading in which a significant fraction of the stones are larger than required stable size would result in a design that is not cost-effective. Thus, the gradation of riprap must ensure a relatively limited fraction of particles smaller than stable size and also a small fraction of rocks larger than it (Lagasse et al., 2006).
