Riprap — also known as rip rap, rubble, shot rock or rock armour — is rock or other material used to armor shorelines and streambeds against water and sometimes ice erosion.

It is normally made from hard rock, commonly granite or concrete rubble recycled from construction sites, and is used to protect coastlines from erosion and other coastal processes caused by the sea. It is also used inland on lakes, rivers, and other waterways to protect the banks from erosion.

Workings

Riprap normally works by absorbing the impact of a wave before the wave reaches the cliff or sea defense, and so minimizes the erosion caused by the wave.

It is frequently used to protect the base of old Edwardian/Victorian sea walls, which due to the vertical wall, are often undermined. The riprap absorbs the impact of the waves as they shoot up the wall, and then fall back down.

It is also used around bridge abutments to prevent scour.
