Buffalo Harbor Diked Disposal Sites: Engineering Properties and Drainage Characteristics
The objective of the project was to determine the engineering properties of the placed fill material and the drainage characteristics of diked disposal sites in the Buffalo harbor area. The hydraulic conductivity of the dredged material and the dikes along with the drainage characteristics of the disposal sites constituted the major focus of the hydraulic study. The engineering properties studied were the consolidation characteristics, bearing capacity, and slope stability of the placed fill. The fill material is spongy and not able to maintain slopes; it will not support buildings or roads unless piles are driven or extra underpinnings constructed first. The fill material does not drain well. A drainage network on the surface, with shallow channels sloping gently toward the dikes, would improve matters.
