Feasibility Study of Improved Methods for Riverbank Stabilization
Abstract
This study was made to investigate new or different materials and methods for protecting the banks of the Lower Mississippi River and to outline future studies needed to clarify the problems involved in such protection. As provided by the contract, these investigations were made in the following manner: 1. Published reports of research on grouting, soil stabilization, ceramics, chemistry, and other pertinent fields were reviewed to find materials and methods which might be used, now or after further development, to protect riverbanks. 2. Organizations, universities, and individuals having experience with or knowledge of materials and methods which might be used to protect riverbanks were consulted. 3. Representatives of the Mississippi River Commission and the Waterways Experiment Station were consulted for their guidance in determining required performance and characteristics of riverbank protection. 4. Portions of the riverbank were inspected.
