"Riprap — also known as rip rap, rubble, shot rock or rock armour or "Rip-rap" — is rock or other material used to armor shorelines, streambeds, bridge abutments, pilings and other shoreline structures against scour, water or ice erosion.
It is made from a variety of rock types, commonly granite or limestone, and occasionally concrete rubble from building and paving demolition. It is used to protect coastlines and structures from erosion by the sea, rivers, or streams. It can be used on any waterways or water containment where there is potential for water erosion."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riprap
"Définition enrochement
Mode de protection d'un littoral meuble (rivière, fleuve, lac, étang, port de plaisance, etc) par la constitution d'un amas de blocs de pierres. Les enrochements sont également utilisés pour éviter les débordements du lit d'une rivière.
Autrement exprimé, couche ou butte protectrice de pierres, blocs de béton ou dalles en béton placés sur la face exposée d'un ouvrage ou d'une digue, afin d'en empêcher l'érosion et l'endommagement. "
