Green and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixty vehicles were evaluated to determine their capabilities for operating in and around confined dredged material disposal areas. The results represent the state of the art of vehicles that are commercially available or have undergone recent military testing and that can operate in soft soils. The vehicles were divided into 6 payload classes that indirectly reflect the size of the job that the vehicle or equipment may be expected to perform. Vehicle performance was expressed in terms of go-no go and traction capability on 5 selected soil strengths that cover the range of soil strengths measured in several representative dredged material disposal containment areas. The soils data revealed that within a given site, the operational environment of disposal areas can be highly variable type of material, profile strength, presence of surface and subsurface water, and vegetal cover; these factors combine to present a harsh operational environment for vehicles or equipment. A comparison of computed soil strength requirements for vehicles operating in fine-grained soils with measured soil strength data indicated that commercially available vehicles in the 6 categories can operate in all except the lowest soil strength units.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guidelines for the selection of equipment to operate in and around confined dredged material disposal areas were developed as part of the Dredged Material Research Program (DMRP). In the early phase of the DMRP, it was recognized that, in order to implement concepts for management of disposal areas to minimize adverse environmental impacts, equipment must be employed that can operate on very soft soils. In a three-phase study, the Mobility and Environmental Systems Laboratory of the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station developed the guidelines by (a) compiling a catalog of low-ground-pressure equipment, (b) analytically predicting vehicle performance, and (c) verifying the predictions of the field condition. This report is a synthesis of the three studies. The equipment catalog is included as Appendix A. Guidance for performing required soils tests is contained in Appendix B. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authoritative, up-to-date guide to dredging theory and practice. From selecting the right equipment, to evaluating environmental impact, to bidding on a project, Handbook of Dredging Engineering, Second Edition, is the last word on modern hydraulic dredging. Edited by John B. Herbich, with contributions by well-know experts in the field, the Handbook examines basic fluid mechanics; dredge pumps; dredging equipment; sediment; pipeline transport of solids; dredging methods; disposal and placement of dredged material; numerical models for predicting the fate of dredged material placed in open water; environmental effects of dredging activities; instrumentation and automation; and project planning. This vital new edition covers major advances made over the last seven years. Three chapters are new to this edition: numerical models for predicting the fate of dredged material...subaqueous capping of contaminated sediment...and removal of contaminated sediments by dredging, with illustrative case studies.
