Geotechnical Design Considerations for Contained Aquatic Disposal

Abstract

This technical note provides geotechnical design guidance for contained aquatic disposal (CAD) sites. The geotechnical behavior of the recently deposited dredged material with respect to consolidation, bearing capacity, and stability are major factors that are considered. The presence or absence of a cap may be considered in each analysis procedure.
