Characteristics of Dredged Material in the Chesapeake Bay of Maryland
This report was directed towards the determination of the characteristics of dredged materials deposited in five different confined disposal sites in the Chesapeake Bay area of the state of Maryland to ascertain the feasibility of mechanically filling disposal basins with dredged materials from power plant construction. Data was acquired through a program of sampling and testing of dredged materials. A piston sampler was developed for the sampling program, standard tests of American Society of Testing and Materials were used to determine the characteristics, and the Unified Soil Classification System was used to classify the dredged materials. Test results showed that the water contents in the deep fine-grained areas were fairly high with a value ranging from 60 to 125 percent, and the dry densities were relatively low with a range from 30 to 70, lbs/cu ft.
