Boulder Pitching

This document contains design calculations for a river bank revetment using boulder pitching. It includes design discharge, high flood level, bed material diameter, bank slope angle, material angle of repose, and other parameters. The calculations determine the weight, size, and thickness of boulders needed. Specifically, it calculates that the boulder weight should be 22.32 kg, size should be 0.25 m, and pitching layer thickness should be 0.56 m. It also includes calculations for the design of a launching apron.
