Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to develop practical guidance for temporary erosion control measures on highway projects in Kansas. Recommendations are based on the field monitoring of current measures, on-site testing of alternative measures, questionnaire responses from Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) construction personnel, and a comprehensive review of the practices of other organizations. These recommendations include changes to the current KDOT specifications and changes in the implementation of the current specifications. Whether a temporary erosion control measure succeeds or fails depends on where and how it is installed and how it is maintained. Most of the measures found in the KDOT specifications provide adequate erosion and/or sediment control when correctly followed. Improper placement, faulty installation, use of substandard materials, and inadequate maintenance were examples of failure to follow specifications fully. Based on findings and comments received from field personnel, most of these errors appear to be caused by a misunderstanding of how the temporary erosion control measures operate. The on site testing of new temporary erosion control products yielded some successes and some failures. The Triangular Silt Dike and the Rock Ditch Check performed very well and were included in the final recommendations. The High-Porosity Silt Fence and the Bio-log Ditch Check proved ineffective. KDOT should institute a program of on-site testing to determine the effectiveness of new erosion control products as a way to continually improve the erosion control specifications. The primary product of this research is the KDOT Temporary Erosion Control Manual. This manual provides the practical guidance needed for the design, installation, inspection, and maintenance of the most appropriate temporary erosion control measures for KDOT construction sites. It will be used statewide by designers, contractors, installers, and inspectors.

Download or read book Hydraulic Characteristics of Kdot Flume Inlets written by Bruce M. McEnroe and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) flume inlets are commonly used to intercept storm runoff on bridge decks and bridge approach sections. Safety related design constraints limit the discharge that a flume inlet can capture completely. Any flow that bypasses the flume inlet can cause erosion and maintenance problems. Hydraulic tests of model flume inlets were conducted in the hydraulics laboratory at the University of Kansas. The objectives of these tests were: (1) to determine the hydraulic characteristics of KDOT's standard flume inlet for a roadway with a shallow gutter; (2) to investigate possible design changes that would improve the hydraulic performance of this inlet; and (3) to develop a new flume inlet design for a roadway with a 102 mm (4 in.) edge curb and determine its hydraulic characteristics.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the recent introduction and acceptance of Superpave design criteria for hot mix asphalt, designers have had difficulty meeting the minimum voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA) requirements. VMA is affected by compactive effort, gradation, and aggregate angularity. This research focused on the effects of fine aggregate angularity on VMA and rutting. Two 12.5-mm Superpave gradations, one coarse and one fine, were developed using 100% crushed limestone. Once the baseline gradations were established, laboratory samples were produced with increasing natural sand percentages. The percentage of natural sand directly replaced the limestone on each sieve allowing the gradation to remain constant and the effect of fine aggregate angularity to be observed independent of gradation. The resultant VMA and fine aggregate angularity of each blend was compared. In an effort to meet Superpave criteria, designers in Kansas have been using chat sand, a flaky fine aggregate of almost pure silica that is a byproduct of lead and zinc mining, to boost VMA.
