Outlet protection / riprap aprons

Outlet protection sized from the 8.06 design figures

Give it the pipe and the discharge; the workbench reads the Appendix 8.06 design figures the way a reviewer would — placing your outlet in its Figure 8.06c zone, pulling apron dimensions and stone size from the 8.06d table, and citing the exact figure on the sheet.

What the workbench does

  • Design discharge per Appendix 8.03 (Rational Method) or entered directly
  • Outlet velocity from full-flow pipe hydraulics (Manning, 1.49 ft⅓/s) with an open-pipe check
  • Figure 8.06c zone classification from velocity and discharge
  • Apron length, width, and riprap class from the Figure 8.06d sizing table
  • Practice 6.41 criteria checks, with multiple outlets per project — each on its own sheet

Sources it answers to

  • NC E&SC Manual, Practice 6.41 — Outlet Stabilization Structure
