This book was released on 1993 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geotechnical engineers investigate and describe dredging sites using their own methods and terminology. Government estimators and dredging contractors use that information in preparing plans and estimates. The two groups often do not understand each other's needs, methodology, and vocabulary. Inevitable turnover in personnel means the loss of the knowledge of experienced and talented persons. These factors often lead to misinterpretation of the nature and extent of the sediments to be dredged, resulting in higher bid prices because of unknown or unclear risk and in unnecessary claims for changed conditions. Therefore, there is a need for retaining expert knowledge for the guidance and training of inexperienced personnel and for peer consultation among the experienced persons. The work described in this report is part of the Dredging Research Program (DRP) at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), Vicksburg, MS. The specific work unit involves the development of geotechnical descriptors to indicate, or infer, dredgeability of sediments to be dredged. Knowledge-Based Expert Systems (KBES) are computer programs for problems that require expertise in a field for solution. Conventional programs use a generally fixed algorithm to solve numerical problems. A Classification, Dredging, Description, Excavation, Dredgeability, Geotechnical soil sediments.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of a geotechnical site investigation for a dredging project is to obtain the most complete and accurate estimate of the location and character of the materials to be dredged that is possible within the limits of available time and money and of practicality. This information must then be communicated, in a readily understood manner, to all persons involved in the design, cost estimation, and construction of the project. A site investigation for dredging consists of studies of all available existing information, augmented, when necessary, by geophysical and geotechnical subbottom investigation, including the sampling and testing of soils and rock. The data are summarized in an estimated geotechnical subbottom profile. The validity of the estimated profile is dependent on the type and amount of site investigation made and on the knowledge and skill of the interpreter(s) of the data.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing soil descriptor systems are not universally used, or even understood, by all groups involved in navigation dredging. As part of a 6-year study of this problem, a resource review has been conducted, which includes examination of the published literature and interviews with individuals knowledgeable in this area. The study indicates that the minimum soil identification test data necessary for the design, planning, and execution of dredging projects are as follows: (a) undisturbed soil mass properties, (b) disturbed soil material properties, (c) specific properties such as rheologic properties of a slurry, sedimentation rate in salt water, or bulking factors. Suggestions are made in the report for a standard set of descriptive terms and for a new Dredging Classification System.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical note describes a knowledge-based expert system (KBES) computer program, 'Geotechnical Factors in DREDGeABiLity' (DREDGABAL), which was developed as part of the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station's (WES) Dredging Research Program (DRP). The program is intended to serve the dredging community as a geotechnical engineering consultant. DREDGABL provides guidance in the suitability of various types of dredging equipment for specific sediment types whose properties are described in the contract documents. Sediments descriptions are assumed to be available in the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and America Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) format.
