This book was released on 1977 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report deals with containment area management to promote natural dewatering of fine-grained dredged material. Interviews with personnel of several Corps of Engineers (CE) Districts and visits to dredged material containment areas showed that little is being done to dewater fine-grained dredged material confined on land. This was not unexpected since few economically feasible techniques were known and in many instances the local sponsors were responsible for providing facilities for dredged material confinement. Based on information gained during the preliminary phase of the study and on current research results, for general guidelines for containment area management were formulated. The first guideline is concerned with the separation of sand and gravel from the fine material during the dredging operation; the coarse fraction may have productive use potential or may be useful for constructing drainage blankets to dewater the fine fraction. Surface water management is the subject of the second guideline, which suggests that water be left ponded within the containment area throughout the disposal operation and thereafter removed as quickly as possible to initiate evaporation at the earliest time. Guideline 3 presents concepts for optimizing evapotranspirative dewatering by scheduling dredging before hot, dry weather, by placing dredged material in lifts not greater than 0.3 meter thick, and by using vegetation to transpire water from the dredged material.

Download or read book Containment Area Facility Concepts for Dredged Material Separation Drying and Rehandling written by and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study resulted in concepts for reuse or extended use of confined disposal areas, and alternatives for processing and removing portions of dredged material that can be used for such things as landfill and construction materials. As such, the three major areas of research included the study of dredged material separation, the study of dredged material drying, and the development of concepts for facilities for dredged material separation, drying, and rehandling. Coarse-grained dredged materials usually drain freely after their separation from organic and fine-grained materials. On the other hand, fine-grained dredged materials do not drain as freely and natural, unaided drying requires considerable time in most cases. Consequently, the study of the drying of the coarse-grained materials concentrated on the development of processes for dewatering of the material to a state where the moisture content would pose no problem to its handling and transport.

This book was released on 2015-04-29 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of Coastal Engineering from basic theory to engineering practice. The authors of this book are worldwide authorities in the field. Each chapter deals with an important topic in the field of coastal engineering. The topics are of recent deep concern all over the world motivated by the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, 2005 Hurricane Katrina, 2011 Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami and other natural disasters.For proper coastal zone management, a broad range of knowledge is necessary. This book provides a basic understanding of the theories behind the diverse natural phenomena within the coastal areas, such as waves, tsunamis and sediment transport. The book also introduces various coastal conservation technologies such as coastal structures and beach nourishment. Finally, coastal zone management practices in the USA, Europe, and Japan are introduced.Each chapter is self-standing and readers can begin from any topic depending on their interest.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few years have seen the emergence of a growing, widespread desire in this country, and indeed everywhere, that positive actions be taken to restore the quality of our environment, and to protect it from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution-air, noise, solid waste, and water. Since pollution is a direct or indirect consequence of waste, if there is no waste, there can be no pollution, and the seemingly idealistic demand for "zero discharge" can be construed as a demand for zero waste. However, as long as there is waste, we can only attempt to abate the consequent pollution by converting it to a less noxious form. In those instances in which a particular type of pollution has been recognized, three major questions usually arise: (1) How serious is the pollution? (2) Is the technology to abate it available? and (3) Do the costs of abatement justify the degree of abatement achieved? The principal intention of this series of books on environmental engineering is to help the reader formu late useful answers to the second and third of these questions, i. e. , to outline the best currently available engineering solutions, and to examine their costs in the light of the real level of benefits afforded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Port engineering primarily deals with the design, construction, operation, management, and maintenance of ports, overlapping with many other disciplines. This book provides an introductory text to prospective (graduate) port engineers and presents a wide variety of port subjects for practicing engineers. It covers almost all topics related to port engineering in a fundamental way, including dredging, marine aids to navigation, environmental issues, containers, liquid bulk, dry bulk, general cargo, multipurpose, roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro), fishing, and ferry terminals. Discussions are targeted at a conceptual design level. Other features: • Aspects of port engineering are discussed, including shipping, maritime trade, environmental aspects (such as climate change), resilience of ports, nature-based solutions, and port management (such as security, equipment, slurry pumping, and so forth). • Illustrates the design of port terminals. • Discusses site selection for a new port, the factors to be considered, and ways to compare different potential port sites. • Explores asset management and repair of marine structures. • Includes case studies from around the world, examples, and practical and user-friendly guidelines.
