Geotechnical Characterization of Dredged Material Containment Areas
This paper discusses data collected by the author's firm over the past seven years and reported heretofore only in design reports published for sponsoring clients. Both laboratory and in-situ testing has been performed to characterize the physical, index, and strength properties of dredged material, soft marsh soils, and the sands and clays found beneath the natural marshes. In-situ testing has included the standard penetration test (SPT), the cone penetration test (CPT), and the field vane shear test. Typical geotechnical parameters for the various soils encountered in and around dredged material containment areas (DMCAs) are presented. While these typical parameters may be useful for preliminary design evaluations, any final design should be based on site-specific geotechnical characterization studies.
