COMPRESS: To press
or squeeze (something) so that it is smaller or fills less space.
COMPRESSION: The act, process, or result of compressing
From: The Meriam-Webster on-line dictionary

In river engineering, we are talking about stones with a sloped side facing upstream so that flow (water pressure) pushes against the sloped face & pushes the stone down into the bed of
the stream (in compression).

Several river folk performed literature searches to see if anyone had analyzed
how much more stable a stone in compression is compared to a similar stone that was not in compression, but
no one has done that research !!! Sounds like an important thesis to me.

STONES, & OTHER OBJECTS,
NATUALLY IN COMPRESSION

Stones naturally in compression
With “slabby” stones, “B” axis
of stone is almost always parallel
to flow. “A” axis (longest side) of
stone is perpendicular to flow. Big Piney
Creek, AR.
Stones are imbricated (overlaying each other) like shingles on a roof.

A Hydraulic Cover Stone (HCS) dug into the streambed substrate for stability. Upstream sloped face of HCS is in
compression & forces the HCS into the bed. The downstream wake (surface modulation) is the “Hydraulic Cover”.

NATURAL-Looking across. Hard to believe the stream moved these stones. Bedload !! High flow compresses stones into the bed of the stream

NATURAL-Looking US @ rocks in compression. High flow hitting top stone pushes it down into the bottom (footer) stone & into the bed.

FLOOD IN PARK-Accelerated flow velocities around vehicle results in a scour hole. Water was several ft deep across entire floodplain.
Sloped angle of car into flow resulted in the car being pushed into the ground instead of being carried DS during the flood.

Close-up of fisherman’s path stones in compression. Flow hits angled upstream face of stone, which pushes that stone into the footer stone, which is then pushed down
into the bed of the stream (compression), resulting in a very stable structure.
