4 DESCRIPTIONS

5 Description of Longitudinal Peaked Stone Toe Protection {LPSTP}
LPSTP is a continuous stone dike placed longitudinally at, or slightly streamward of, the toe of the eroding bank. Cross-section is triangular. The LPSTP does not necessarily follow the toe exactly, but can be placed to form a "smoothed" alignment through the bend. Smoothed alignment might not be desirable from the environmental or energy dissipation points of view . Amount of stone used (1 ton/ lineal ft, 2 tons/ft, etc.) can depend on the height of LPSTP required, volume of stone required to mitigate toe scour, estimated stream forces (impinging flow) on the bank, & flood durations & stages. Bank grading is not always needed (existing vegetation not disturbed).

6 Description of Tie-Backs
Tie-backs are short stone dikes (at regular intervals) connecting the LPSTP to the stone key that is dug into the bank. Tie-backs are usually the same height as the LPSTP, or elevated slightly toward the bank end. If tie-backs are long they should be angled upstream to act as Bendway Weirs (if level-crested), or Bank Barbs (if crest is sloped).

7 Functions of No Mow Stones (NMS)
“No Mow Stones” are designed to effectively keep riparian, wetland, near stream, & other wild areas from getting accidently mowed. If mowed, many of these important & expensive areas never recover functionality. One study in Charlotte, NC. detailed that 26 agencies, governments, & companies mowed right-of-ways within city limits. No mow & no spray signs did not work. St. Louis District Corps of Engineers requires that Now Mow Stones be placed to protect vulnerable areas in stream mitigation banking projects.

8 FUNCTIONS

9 Functions of Longitudinal Peaked Stone Toe Protection
Resists the erosive flow of the stream, only stabilizes the toe, does not protect mid and upper bank areas. "Smoothed" longitudinal alignment results in improved flow alignment. Success depends on ability of stone to launch into scour holes formed on the river side of the LPSTP. Weight of stone in the LPSTP (loading of toe) might resist some shallow-fault geotechnical bank failures. Captures alluvium & upslope failed material on bank side of structure.

10 HISTORY

11 HISTORY OF LPSTP/LFSTP
One of the more universal bank protection methods. Very versatile, works well in a wide variety of situations. Pioneered by Vicksburg District Corps of Engineers in the late 1960’s. Probably 300 miles of LPSTP a rate of 1 to 2 tons/ft on Mississippi small to large sand-silt bed streams. Long history since early 1970’s of nearly maintenance free functionality. Very few failures recorded.

12 APPLICABILITY

13 APPLICABILITY OF LPSTP/LFSTP
Where the bank must be built back out into the stream (realignment of channel or a “false bankline” needed to gain space between stream & object requiring protection) Construction of & protection for a backfilled vegetative bench or terrace for habitat improvement and/or velocity attenuation) or to increase space between stream & object requiring protection

14 APPLICABILITY OF LPSTP/LFSTP
Where a minimal continuous bank protection is needed. Good where outer bank alignment makes abrupt changes Works well in combination with other methods (Hydraulic Cover Stones, Bendway Weirs, vanes, barbs, J-Hooks, and/or Locked Limbs/Locked Logs, and/or bioengineering within the stone {joint planting, Bent Willow Poles} or immediately behind stone {Live Siltation, Living Dikes}, & veg in mid/upper bank areas {brush layering, Slit Brush Layering, transplants, Living Dikes, Dead Dikes, rooted stock or container plants}.

15 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

16 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR LPSTP KEYS
LPSTP must be deeply keyed into the bank at both the upstream and downstream ends and at regular intervals along its entire length. Charlie Elliott’s spacing rules-of-thumb for keys in flat-sloped sand bed water bodies: 50 to 100 ft intervals on smaller streams, 1 to 2 bankfull widths on larger waterways. Keys at the upstream and downstream ends of LPSTP should not be at a 90 degree angle to the LPSTP structure, but at 20 to 30 degrees to HIGH FLOW. Keys should go far enough back into the river bank so river erosion & migration will not flank the key & the LPSTP. Keys should be vegetated if possible. Key length can be extended with vegetation alone in some cases. Volume of material per ft of key should equal or exceed the volume of material per ft in the LPSTP. Stone max. size & gradation should be the same as the stone used in the LPSTP & Tie-Backs Minimum key width should be three times the D-100 of the stone used

17 Key designs for continuous bank protection
20-30 degrees Longitudinal Peaked Stone Toe Protection Flow Inner bank Upstream key Outer bank 20-30 degrees LPSTP (black line) Both the upstream & downstream keys should be angled 20 to 30 degrees to high flow. All keys are vegetated & soil choked Downstream key Tie-backs (blue lines) connect the LPSTP to the key. The key, sometimes called the key root or keyway, is dug into the bank. Mid-project keys (red lines) are perpendicular to high flow & connect the tie-back to the bank Key designs for continuous bank protection

69 Design Rules-of-Thumb for LPSTP (developed from experience in Mississippi on incised, relatively flat-sloped, sand bed streams) Dr. Dave Biedenharn recommends that if you have never used LPSTP in your area, get a designer with LPSTP experience to design your first project! If there is the opportunity to build a demonstration project do so. Either test different heights of LPSTP in a number of similar bends, or for testing in a single bend start at the upstream end with a reasonably tall 50 ft long section of LPSTP (take the amount of stone calculated from consideration #2 and add 4 ft to the height). Continue in the downstream direction reducing height in 1 ft increments until an unusually small amount of stone is used (3 ft below low-flow water surface elevation for example, or below the vegetation line if one exists). After a reasonable time and at least two flood or long-duration high-flow events the sections that failed will provide some guidance for the minimum effective crest height At this time, no specific design criteria exists that relates the crest elevation of LPSTP to the channel forming discharge, effective discharge, or dominant discharge. One ton of LPSTP/per lineal ft is approx. 3 ft tall (using ft) Two tons/per lineal ft is approx. 5 ft tall (height calculations from Vicksburg Dist.) Three tons of LPSTP/per lineal ft is approx. 6 ft tall 7.5 tons is 9.5 ft tall Four tons of LPSTP/per lineal ft is approx. 7 ft tall 10 tons is 11 ft tall Six tons of LPSTP/per lineal ft is approx. 8.5 ft tall 14 tons is 13 ft tall Pg 1 of 3

70 Design Rules-of-Thumb for LPSTP (continued)
Maximum stone size and correct gradation can be generated using any of many available riprap sizing design programs (“ChanlPro”, WEST Consultants “RIPRAP”, etc.) * Consideration #1: The minimum amount of stone that would have a launchable component to any degree, would be ½ to ¾ of a ton of stone per ft. The ½ ton/ft amount would provide a triangular section of stone approximately 2 ft tall. * Consideration #2: Maximum scour depth in the bend should be numerically calculated, or estimated from field investigations (depths might be underestimated due to in-filling of scour holes during the falling side of the high-water hydrograph). Typically 1 ton of stone will protect against every 3 ft of scour. Amount of stone required to amour the estimated maximum scour depth should be calculated, and a factor of safety added. ** If scour is greater than 3 ft (as calculated in Consideration #2) then a Longitudinal Fill Stone Toe Protection (LFSTP) should be considered. Pg 2 of 3

71 Design Rules-of-Thumb for LPSTP (continued)
* Consideration #3: If there is a vegetation line, the mature well-established section of the veg line should be analyzed, and if Considerations #1 and 2 are met, then the veg. line elevation would be the absolute minimum crest elevation. But, since plants immediately above the vegetation line are typically not very robust, and there is no factor of safety included, this minimum crest height should be increased at least 2 to 4 ft or more, dependant on situation. Consideration #4: The height of the bend’s opposite bank pointbar bench should be analyzed. If the point bar bench height is taller than the crest of the designed LPSTP, then consideration should be addressed as to whether the LPSTP height should be raised to a height equal to, or taller than, the pointbar bench elevation. Scour estimation and various methods of positioning launchable stone are discussed in CORPS Engineering Manual “EM-1601, Chapter 3” Pg 3 of 3

72 LONGITUDINAL FILL STONE TOE PROTECTION {LFSTP} Same as LPSTP but the crest has a width!!

73 Longitudinal Fill Stone Toe Protection {LFSTP} (also called a “Weighted Toe” or a “Reinforced Revetment”) Description -Longitudinal Fill Stone Toe Protection (LFSTP) is similar to LPSTP, except that instead of coming to a peak, the crest has a specified width. Therefore, LFSTP has a trapezoidal cross-section as compared to the triangular cross-section of LPSTP. Advantages - Same as LPSTP. In addition, in areas of deep scour LFSTP provides sufficient rock to self-adjust (launch) into the scour hole while still maintaining its original crest height. Design considerations - The maximum scour depth should be calculated. The volume of stone required to launch into and armor the scour hole (with an appropriate margin-of-safety incorporated into the design) should be calculated. Based on these calculations, the crest width (volume of launchable stone needed from the LFSTP) can then be back-calculated.

74 LFSTP is similar to LPSTP but it has a crest width!
Typical colluvium & alluvium deposition (note swale, good for wetland plants but can drown young planted willow) LFSTP is similar to LPSTP but it has a crest width! Longitudinal Fill Stone Toe Protection (LFSTP)
