Without proper hydraulic fill and suitable specialised equipment,
many major infrastructure projects such as ports, airports, roads,
industrial or housing projects could not be realised. Yet
comprehensive information about hydraulic fill is difficult to
find. This thoroughly researched book, written by noted experts,
takes the reader step-by-step through the complex development of a
hydraulic fill project. Up-to-date and in-depth, this manual will
enable the client and his consultant to understand and properly
plan a reclamation project. It provides adequate guidelines for
design and quality control and allows the contractor to work within
known and generally accepted guidelines and reasonable
specifications. The ultimate goal is to create better-designed,
more adequately specified and less costly hydraulic fill projects.
The Hydraulic Fill Manual covers a range of topics such as: * The
development cycle of a hydraulic fill project * How technical data
are acquired and applied * The construction methods applicable to a
wide variety of equipment and soil conditions, the capabilities of
dredging equipment and the techniques of soil improvement * How to
assess the potentials of a borrow pit * Essential environment
assessment issues * The design of the hydraulic fill mass,
including the boundary conditions for the design, effects of the
design on its surroundings, the strength and stiffness of the fill
mass, density, sensitivity to liquefaction, design considerations
for special fill material such as silts, clays and carbonate sands,
problematic subsoils and natural hazards * Quality control and
monitoring of the fill mass and its behaviour after construction.
This manual is of particular interest to clients, consultants,
planning and consenting authorities, environmental advisors,
contractors and civil, geotechnical, hydraulic and coastal
engineers involved in dredging and land reclamation projects.
