A Relationship Between Deformation Modulus and SPT N for Gravels
The results of over 200 horizontal plate load tests performed in situ in large diameter boreholes on gravels at various relative densities are used to develop a relationship between deformation...
A New Technique for Measuring Fine Sediment Accumulation in Gravel Bed Streams
The collection and analysis of bed material samples has been a standard practice for determining the quantity of fine sediments (less than 3. 4 mm diameter) in stream gravels. However,...
Overview of Artificial Island Design and Construction in the Arctic
An overview is provided of the design and construction of artificial islands in the Arctic. Since the early seventies more than 20 islands have been constructed in the Alaskan and Canadian...
Determining Soil Properties by Electric Cone Penetrometer
Gravel island construction is one primary means of establishing permanent locations for oil wells, building foundations and road beds in the arctic. The gravel provides a natural insulation...
Strength and Deformation Behavior of Frozen Saline Sand and Gravel
Construction of offshore oil and gas exploration and production structures often considers the use of either sand or gravel fill materials. Fill soils exposed to the environment will progressively...
Earth Dam Seepage Control, SCS Experience
The U. S. Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Service (SCS) designs and administers construction of a large number of small- or medium-sized dams. SCS experience...
Monitoring Saves a Site
A comparison is made of two supported excavations that were similarly designed and constructed. Both excavation support systems consisted of a soldier pile and lagging sheeting wall supported...
Design and Calibration of a 200-Foot Model Irrigation Border with a Computer Controlled Infiltrating Bed
A physical model of an irrigation border was constructed using a 200 ft long by 2. 5 ft wide tilting flume with a 3. 5 inch deep infiltrating gravel bed. The border was partitioned into...
Use of LP: An Aggregate Blending Example
The use of well known linear programs which in the past were largely confined to relatively limited mainframe usage, for the management of engineered construction is explored using a well...
Gravel Mining and Land Development Can Go Hand in Hand
A gravel mine located adjacent to a natural area of delicate ecology, near Boulder, Colorado, has led to new approaches in mining and land reclamation. A method of progressive reclamation...
Sand and Gravel � Don't Take Them for Granted
One assumes the supply of sand and gravel is inexhaustible. In fact, at certain times and places it is not. At least not at today's relatively low prices. This is particularly...
Gabions, Perforated Pipe and Gravel Serve as Fish Screens
A type of structure to prevent juvenile salmon from diverting to irrigation ditches has been developed on the Merced River in central California. It was built after cost considerations...
