Stabilizing lower Mississippi river
Use of concrete mattress of 14×48-in. blocks 3 in. thick, with heavy, noncorrosive reinforcing fabric is sunk from assembly barge; improving channel for low flows was done by various types of dikes at right angles to stream; wood piles, driven through board mattress, were extensively used; currently stone dikes with at least half the pieces in 500 to 2000-lb range are used.
