rip rap could have been used as a nautical term by sailors during the 1600's. It meant "stretch of rippling water" caused under water formations.
It looks like a large pile of relatively uniformly sized broken up rock or chunks of concrete. The rocks vary in size from bowling ball size to roughly the size of 2 or 3 drawer file cabinets.
I think that you are meaning acromym. RIP means rest in peace.
Riprap combats erosion on the bank or shore of a body of water or a stream. The stone deflects or absorbs the motion of the water (waves, streams) so they either do not reach the soil on the waters edge or minimizes the effect that erosive action.
anything! u can slice, rip, or bend basicl anything. like a baseball....u can rip it apart if u just use a knife
rip rap is large rocks, in various sizes, used to control eroision,
the advantages of rip rap are that it absorbs the waves energy and stops longshore drift ( like groynes) the disadvantages are that it costs alot for the granite boulders ( rip rap) to be transported! hope that helps :D

Rip rap can last for several decades to over a century, depending on factors such as the size and quality of the rock used, the intensity of wave action and currents, and the maintenance of the structure. Proper installation and regular monitoring can help extend the lifespan of rip rap structures.
