Willoughby and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sufficient soils data were collected to characterize the operational environments in dredged material containment areas in nine Corps of Engineer districts in the United States so that performance of low-ground-pressure vehicles operating in these areas could be predicted. These performance predictions are made using the collected soils data and generalized soil-vehicle relations developed at WES through many years of research in soil-vehicle interactions. In addition, the initial dewatering efforts in dredged material containment areas at Mobile using the Riverine Utility Craft (RUC) are appraised as an indication of the direction future efforts should follow in dewatering and consolidating dredged material containment facilities.

Download or read book Low ground pressure Construction Equipment for Use in Dredged Material Containment Area Operation and Maintenance Equipment Inventory written by Charles E. 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).
Download or read book Publication Index and Retrieval System written by Herner and Company and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Publication Index and Retrieval System' is designed to facilitate dissemination of the information contained in the more than 200 reports resulting from the Dredged Material Research Program (DMRP) and to foster operational applications of their findings and conclusions. Information referenced in this document is applicable to project environmental assessments, detailed design, construction, and operation and maintenance as well as evaluation under requirements of regulatory functions programs. Chapter 1 contains abstracts of the DMRP Synthesis Reports, which present summaries of findings for each of the major DMRP objectives with emphasis on the significance and application of the information. Chapters 2-9 contain abstracts for each of the detailed reports; the abstracts are identified under the major DMRP objectives. Chapter 10 contains the abstracts of the reports on the field tests and demonstration projects concerned with the effects of dredged material disposal in open water and the use of dredged material for habitat creation. The abstracts are also indexed as follows: subject, geographic location, agency/organization, and author. (Author).
