Use of Cone Penetrometer Testing to Investigate Sand Fill Subsidence at Cross-Drain Locations. Volume 1
During construction of Interstate I-10 between Baton Rouge and LaPlace, Louisiana, highly organic swamp deposits were excavated and replaced with hydraulically pumped river sand. Recently, excessive settlement was encountered at numerous cross-drain and bridge end locations within the hydraulically placed sand fills. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the subsurface conditions and investigate the reason(s) for sand fill subsidence at cross-drain locations and to determine the possibility of utilizing the electric cone penetration test for such investigation. Sounding data was collected at sites both with and without cross-drains in a grid pattern to a minimum depth of two feet in the Pleistocene clay beneath the hydraulically placed sand fill. All soundings were evaluated within each site location first, and subsequently compared with the representative average values from the other sites.
