摘要: |
Research in this report presents the first study documented in literature to characterize the surface disturbance and associated ecological impact due to pile jetting process. The enclosed work describes development of phenomenological pile jetting model in various soil profiles through implementation of a laboratory experimental program, field testing program, and comprehensive data analyses. The physical phenomenon of jetting was observed in the laboratory and a model for computing disturbance created by jetted-pile installations was developed. Four test sites were chosen in different geographical locations in Eastern North Carolina to perform a total of 26 jetted pile installations. Ecological impacts of jetting on marine environment and tidal marches are discussed and presented. |
