  • Mechanically Stabilized Embankments
    Part 8 MECHANICALLY STABILIZED EMBANKMENTS First Reinforced Earth wall in USA -1969 Mechanically Stabilized Embankments (MSEs) utilize tensile reinforcement in many different forms: from galvanized metal strips or ribbons, to HDPE geotextile mats, like that shown above. This reinforcement increases the shear strength and bearing capacity of the backfill. Reinforced Earth wall on US 50 Geotextiles can be layered in compacted fill embankments to engender additional shear strength. Face wrapping allows slopes steeper than 1:1 to be constructed with relative ease A variety of facing elements may be used with MSEs. The above photo illustrates the use of hay bales while that at left uses galvanized welded wire mesh HDPE geotextiles can be used as wrapping elements, as shown at left above, or attached to conventional gravity retention elements, such as rock-filled gabion baskets, sketched at right. Welded wire mesh walls are constructed using the same design methodology for MSE structures, but use galvanized wire mesh as the geotextile 45 degree embankment slope along San Pedro Boulevard in San Rafael, CA Geotextile soil reinforcement allows almost unlimited latitude in designing earth support systems with minimal corridor disturbance and right-of-way impact MSEs also allow roads to be constructed in steep terrain with a minimal corridor of disturbance as compared to using conventional 2:1 cut and fill slopes • Geotextile grids can be combined with low strength soils to engender additional shear strength; greatly enhancing repair options when space is tight Geotextile tensile soil reinforcement can also be applied to landslide repairs, allowing selective reinforcement of limited zones, as sketch below left • Short strips, or “false layers” of geotextiles can be incorporated between reinforcement layers of mechanically stabilized embankments (MSE) to restrict slope raveling and erosion • Section through a MSE embankment with a 1:1 (45 degree) finish face inclination.

University of Nevada, Reno Estimating Sediment Losses Generated from Highway Cut and Fill Slopes in the Lake Tahoe Basin A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Hydrologic Sciences By Daniel L. Stucky Dr. Keith E. Dennett/Thesis Advisor December 2014 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by DANIEL L.

Read, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School December, 2014 i ABSTRACT Lake Tahoe’s famed water clarity has gradually declined over the last 50 years, partially as a result of fine sediment particle (FSP, < 16 micrometers in diameter) contributions from urban stormwater. Of these urban sources, highway cut and fill slopes often generate large amounts of sediment due to their steep, highly-disturbed nature.

  • Soil Testing Criteria
    Soil Testing Criteria Introduction Understanding the character and permeability of surface and subsurface soils at a proposed land development site is crucial to the design of stormwater best management practices (BMP) that meet the requirements of the NJDEP’s Stormwater Management Rules (NJAC 7:8). In particular, a soil’s response to rainfall, measured by its ability to absorb and infiltrate some of that rainfall, is a required input parameter when computing both pre- and post-developed site runoff and recharge rates. Similarly, a soil’s permeability is a critical parameter in the design of stormwater BMPs that utilize infiltration. Presented below are three sets of guidelines: Section 1 demonstrates how to identify an appropriate Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) for a soil with an unknown or questionable HSG including a method to identify an appropriate soil series name for an unknown or questionable soil for use in the New Jersey Groundwater Recharge Spreadsheet (NJGRS); Section 2 and 3 contains detailed field and laboratory testing procedures for determining the permeability rates of soils beneath a proposed infiltration BMP; and Section 4 contains construction oversight guidance and post-construction standards for both determining and evaluating soil permeability beneath a newly constructed infiltration BMP. It is the responsibility of the company or persons performing or witnessing subsurface investigations and soil permeability tests to comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations governing occupational safety, including but not limited to the requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:9A-5.2(e)3. This guidance cannot be construed to indicate that it contains the required soil testing to assess hydraulic impacts on groundwater from infiltration.

CREDIT REQUIREMENTS Minimize earthwork cut (excavation) and fill (embankment) volumes such that the 1 POINT percent difference between cut and fill is less than or equal to 10% of the average total volume of material moved. For purposes of this credit, use the method and definitions detailed in Chapter 8 (Earthwork) of the Road Design Manual from the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT), or equivalent, to compute cut and fill volumes. RELATED CREDITS Include miscellaneous additional cut and fill such as outlet ditches and muck PR‐8 Low Impact excavations (see definitions in Chapter 8 of the Manual) and account for moisture and Development density as well as shrink and swell.

The realignment of this section known as the Muldoon’s Corner is located in the mountainous Rimutaka Hills, and involved the construction of up to 55 m high cuttings, up to 45 m high reinforced soil embankments and retaining walls. The rock cuttings were formed in highly fractured Wellington Greywacke rocks comprising sandstone and argillite. Early in the investigation phase, the engineering geology reconnaissance and mapping identified fault zones and a potential evacuated landslide which may have been triggered by past earthquakes.
