Erosion And Resuspension Of Cohesive Sediments In Coastal Louisiana, Laith Qasem Shamaileh Dec 2022

Erosion And Resuspension Of Cohesive Sediments In Coastal Louisiana, Laith Qasem Shamaileh

University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

The research presented in this study is motivated by the need to improve the predictions of cohesive sediment erosion and subsequent transport. In addition, the knowledge of the geotechnical engineering soil properties related to the erosion of sediments in coastal Louisiana has broad implications as these properties are used in transport models guiding the current restoration efforts. The erosion measuring device used in the study is the Cheng-Han Tasi and Wilbert Lick Shaker. Previous studies have been conducted before using the Shaker, but challenges with the calibration of the shear stress hampered the resuspension results produced by the Shaker. Therefore, …

The Living Breakwaters Pdr Efforts Econcrete Resource Analysis, Guianina Ferrari, Shervon Stephens, Calvin O. Walters Jr.

Publications and Research

On October 29, 2012, Superstorm Sandy impacted 443,000 people and caused nearly $19 billion (about $58 per person in the US) worth of damage within New York City. As part of the New York City infrastructure reparation plan, the Living Breakwaters project in Tottenville addressed coastal resilience, allocating $100M of public funds to a series of artificial breakwaters by the southwest coast of Staten Island. Each breakwater is constructed and designed to mitigate water flow in storm events. ECOncrete, a primary element of the breakwater, is a specialty cast cementitious product that is marine organism-friendly that encourages biocalcification and photosynthesis. …

Alternativas Para Mitigar La Susceptibilidad A La Socavación E Inestabilidad Del Talud De La Vía Medina - Santa María Por La Acción Del Río Gazaunta, Katherine Johana Bejarano Novoa Jan 2022

Alternativas Para Mitigar La Susceptibilidad A La Socavación E Inestabilidad Del Talud De La Vía Medina - Santa María Por La Acción Del Río Gazaunta, Katherine Johana Bejarano Novoa

Ingeniería Civil

Los eventos de avenidas torrenciales del río Gazaunta causadas por las fuertes precipitaciones sumado a pertenecer a una zona de transición han generado procesos de socavación y erosión en la vía Medina- Santa María. Con este proyecto se pretende analizar la susceptibilidad a la socavación e inestabilidad del talud de la vía Medina - Santa María entre el K7+400 y K8+200 por incidencia del río Gazaunta implementando cinco (5) fases metodológicas que consisten en la recopilación y procesamiento de información, estimación de caudales (estudio hidrológico y modelación en HEC-HMS), caracterización hidráulica del río Gazaunta (Uso del software HEC-RAS). caracterización de …
