Design and Construction of Retaining Dikes for Containment of Dredged Material
Author: David P. HammerPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Dikes (Engineering)
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Past experience has indicated a major problem exists in the area of dike construction for dredged material containment areas. Frequent dike failures have been reported along with problems associated with high maintenance requirements. These problems can usually be traced to inadequate design and construction practices compounded by very poor site conditions. Site conditions will continue to be poor, but this in itself indicates the need for more comprehensive planning and design efforts along with improved construction practices. This report presents recommendations for proper investigation, design, and construction of retaining dikes to aid in ensuring that these dikes will be constructed with a minimum of problems and will serve their project requirements. Raising of existing dikes is covered as well as construction of new dikes. Recommendations are based on a survey of past Corps of Engineers design and construction practices for retaining dikes and current state-of-the-art design procedures for construction of earth embankments.

Design and Construction of Fabric-Reinforced Dredged Material Retaining Dikes

Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
The design and construction concepts postulated for fabric-reinforced retaining dike construction were successfully verified under field conditions, and the method was found to a technically feasible, operationally practical, and cost-effective method of constructing retaining dikes on an extremely soft foundation when positive assurance of constructability is required. Development of an overall management plan, including location and design of dredged material retaining structures, is currently under way for the Pinto Island Disposal Area, and it is anticipated that fabric-reinforced construction will be used for at least another 4,000 lin fit of retaining dike at this location. A similar fabric-reinforced dike test section is currently being designed for placement on very soft (unde-watered) fine-grained dredged material in the Craney Island Disposal Area of the U.S. Army Engineer District, Norfolk. Several other Corps of Engineer operating elements are actively considering fabric-reinforced retaining dikes as an alternative to their current dike construction procedures. Use of the analysis technique, design methods, fabric selection criteria, and construction procedures summarized herein should allow qualified engineers and contractors to build successful fabric-reinforced retaining dikes for positive containment of disposed dredged material.

Guidelines for Designing, Operating and Managing Dredged Material Containment Areas
Author: Guide to Site Selection, Design, and Construction of Dredged Material Containment Areas for Aquaculture
Author: Debbie NettlesPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aquacultural engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
"Approximately 40 percent of dredged material generated from coastal dredging activities is placed into diked dredged material containment areas or DMCA. Because suitable sites are often difficult and expensive to acquire, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and local dredging sponsors have an ongoing interest in programs that may help in making real estate available for DMCA construction. The adaptation of diked disposal areas for aquaculture is especially interesting because DMCA's and aquaculture ponds share many characteristics​, including perimeter dikes, structures to regulate water levels, construction on impervious soils, and many similar permit requirements. This publication provides guidelines for evaluating and selecting sites and for designing and constructing sites for the uses of dredged material disposal and aquaculture. Also included are examples of potential species for new operations"--National Sea Grant Library publication website.
Engineering and Economic Analysis of Containment Area/wetlands Disposal Options in New York Harbor

Book Description
Investigations were conducted to evaluate the engineering feasibility of constructing dredged material disposal sites at four locations within the New York Harbor area. The four sites identified by the New York District for evaluation were Bowery Bay, New York; Flushing Bay, New York; Newark Bay, New Jersey; and Raritan Bay, New Jersey. Each of these locations was evaluated for use with three disposal options: (a) disposal of uncontaminated sediments in a containment area; (b) disposal of contaminated sediments in a containment area; and (c) disposal of uncontaminated sediments to stabilize/create wetland habitats. Geotechnical analyses were conducted to evaluate the feasibility and cost of dredged material retaining dike construction. Retaining dike construction was found to be technically feasible, and a recommended dike design was presented for each site. Storage capacity evaluations were conducted for each disposal option to determine the ultimate quantity of material to be placed at each site. Total costs associated with each disposal option were determined including costs for marsh plantings. (fr).
