摘要: |
This study examines the need for a soil erosion control testing facility in New England to evaluate erosion protection products and techniques. The study includes a survey of the 6 New England Departments of Transportation to assess their current approach to erosion control and future erosion control needs. A literature review is performed to identify current erosion testing laboratories, to evaluate capabilities and to determine the economics of testing. Both large-scale and small-scale erosion testing facilities are considered and each testing facility/method is evaluated considering current soil erosion theories. Several testing laboratories were contacted directly, including site visits, to obtain needed background information. A series of recommendations was prepared for the New England DOTs that considers the economics and quality of results of erosion testing. |
