[edit] Coast Management article merge tag
I disagree with merging this article into Coast Management. Riprap has many other uses besides Coast Mangement (sp?), such as biofilters, bioswales, dam spillways, drainage fields and drywells. --Duk 18:56, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Merging this into Coast Management is a good idea, because it plays a vital role in Coast Line Management, but then it should be merged into all areas for which it fits. (Civil Engineering)- LSD
[edit] Revetment merge
These seem to be the same thing ...? Saint|swithin 18:47, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
they definently are not the same thing, because they just are ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.131.230.95 (talk) 14:43, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Riprap
This is the preferred page for civil engineers. The items concerning bank defence works on rivers, lakes and beaches should be taken from the "revetment" page to the "riprap" page. Only the items concerning fortification should perhaps be left in the "revetment" page but this is not my field of knowledge. See also the well written Coastal management page.Artreve 19:15, 18 October 2007 (UTC) rip-rap are just rocks. reventments can be wood aswell. they also affect waves differently and revenments can have an affect on longshore drfit whereas rip-rap generally dont. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.189.175.60 (talk) 14:37, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
The Riprap article states that riprap is also known as revetment. If the terms are in fact equivalent, they should be merged. If there exists a distinction only insofar as one group of professionals prefer one term over another, they should be merged with a comment as to the differing terminology. However, if there is some real distinction between "riprap" and "revetment" then they should NOT be merged, however that call requires expert judgement. --Navaburo (talk) 23:26, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Do not merge with revetment
Do not merge with revetment. Riprap is a material used in many erosion protection structures including but not limited to revetments. A revetment is one type of structure that may or may not contain riprap. /s/ Professional Engineer
