Low-Ground-Pressure Construction Equipment for Use in Dredged Material Containment Area Operation and Maintenance: Performance Predictions.
Abstract
Sufficient soils data were collected to characterize the operational environments in dredged material containment areas in nine Corps of Engineer districts in the United States so that performance of low-ground-pressure vehicles operating in these areas could be predicted. These performance predictions are made using the collected soils data and generalized soil-vehicle relations developed at WES through many years of research in soil-vehicle interactions. In addition, the initial dewatering efforts in dredged material containment areas at Mobile using the Riverine Utility Craft (RUC) are appraised as an indication of the direction future efforts should follow in dewatering and consolidating dredged material containment facilities.
