Evaluation of a Clam Shell Embankment Bridging Marshland Soil
The Louisiana highway network extends southward to the Gulf Coast where it serves a populace which is rapidly expanding as oil companies increase their activities in the area. The swamplands and marshlands which comprise much of south Louisiana represent construction problems which are perhaps best appreciated by the highway engineer. The root of these problems is the soft compressible organic deposits which lie beneath the swamp grass and, oftentimes, beneath the swamp water. These subgrade conditions deprive the highway engineer of a foundation for his roads. Economics has forced the Louisiana Department of Highways to consider the merits of floating an embankment of clam shell upon these mucklands. Engineering curiosity provided additional impetus for initiation of a research project to determine the feasibility of constructing a clam shell test embankment directly upon marshland and to evaluate the facility so constructed. The report relates the findings of the research project.
