b. The relative advantage of providing both ver-
reduced considerably if a riprap-lined, preformed
tical and lateral expansion downstream of an outlet
scour hole is provided, instead of a horizontal blan-
to permit dissipation of excess kinetic energy in
ket at an elevation essentially the same as the outlet
turbulence, rather than direct attack of the
invert. Details of a scheme of riprap protection
boundaries, is shown in figure 5-10. Figure 5-10
termed "performed scour hole lined with riprap"
indicates that the required size of stone may be
