The report clarifies the procedure of the California Bank and Shore (CABS) layered rock slope protection (RSP) design method. There are solved problems, figures, and tables for practitioners who design and build flexible rock revetments by the CABS method. There are field evaluations of sixty-five sites tabled by location and design method. The authors and local practicing engineers in design, construction, and maintenance critically evaluated sites along stream and river banks and ocean shores among five states: Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, and Mississippi. Ninety photographs show significant design and construction features of riprap. Annotations are presented for fifty-eight references.
