Rip-rap is a layer of large, angular stones placed to protect soil surfaces from erosion caused by water flow — typically at culvert outlets, channel banks, and slope faces. Rip-rap apron dimensions, stone size, and grade are specified in drainage design and must be installed to the correct invert elevation to provide proper energy dissipation at pipe outlets.
