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.

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 544: Environmentally Sensitive Channel- and Bank-Protection Measures examines environmentally sensitive channel- and bank-protection measures and includes recommended design guidelines for their application and a selection system for helping to determine the most appropriate channel- and bank-protection measure. The selection system is presented as an interactive software program entitled "Greenbank," which can be found on the accompanying CD-ROM (CRP-CD-58). The selection system software (CRP-CD-58) is available for download in an ZIP format.
