filter layer 15 and 50 percentile sieve sizes

A model for the grading of the scour protection filter layer as a function of its 85 percentile rock size: d_50 = 0.7⋅d_85 and d_15 = 0.4⋅d_85.

Notes

This node's name is a non-informative reference to a model in Zaaijer (2013); it should get an informative name.
2026-09-09: name, description changed — Table D-1, row "d15 and d50 of filter layer as function of d85", under Rocks — the row after m39, which is why the node had no description of its own. The published name was the table's row number, which the node's own note asks to replace; the description now carries the equation, which the new name would otherwise only restate.
