Performance Base Testing for Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control (EPSC) Devices
| 项目名称： | Performance Base Testing for Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control (EPSC) Devices |
| 摘要： | The central objective of this project is to conduct systematic performance evaluations of select Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control (EPSC) devices in use in Tennessee following the National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP). Currently, methods for preventing erosion and controlling sediment at highway and other construction sites in Tennessee are based on limited site-specific criteria and information with minimal testing if any. This project is providing systematic performance evaluations from which the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), and other construction project managers, will be able to design more successful and cost effective erosion plans that are based on sound engineering and detailed testing. This project will measure the efficiency of different EPSC devices at trapping sediment. The devices include the Silt fence, Straw-filled sediment tubes, Mulch-filled sediment tubes, and the Rock check dam. Based on the ASTM procedures, the research will simulate three different rainfall intensities during these tests based on design storms from across the state. Rainfall simulators will deliver the rainfall over a soil box with the EPSC at end of the box. Below the EPSC, collected runoff and sediment from the soil box will enable quantification of the trapping efficiency. |
