Investigation of Concrete Aggregates and Riprap, Kaskaskia River, Illinois, Navigation Improvement

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine relevant properties of materials present in locally available sources of concrete aggregate and riprap for use in the subject project. Crushed stone from four quarries was tested for use as both concrete aggregate and riprap. Crushed stone from another quarry was tested for use as riprap. A river sand from Chester, Illinois, and a fine blending sand from Evansville, Illinois, were tested for use as concrete sand.
