Test Bed Mesocosms for Improved Stabilized Sediment Laboratory Specimen Preparation and Field QA/QC
This project will utilize a combination of field and laboratory testing to (1) improve the preparation of laboratory specimens and (2) help guide the development of quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) guidelines. This project aims to improve current approaches by better incorporating the impact of the field construction process, compaction method, and curing environment. The intended outcomes of this project are an improved methodology for creating laboratory specimens of soft stabilized sediments and guidelines for developing QA/QC criteria for construction. These outcomes will be presented both as a report as well as published in peer-reviewed journal articles or conference proceedings.
