"Cradle to Cradle" Approach to Shoreline Stabilization and Erosion Control combining Native Dredge Materials with Advanced Manufacturing

The objectives of this research effort include: (1) review of the literature surrounding the production of mortar and concrete elements for shoreline stabilization and erosion control, as well as use of local materials (2) development of mortar and/or concrete mixes and element shapes which rely on beneficial use of dredged material and other locally available materials, (3) review of manufacturing processes appropriate for the limited space available at dredged material containment areas (DMCA), (4) refinement of design based upon materials circularity principles, and (5) making recommendations for cost-effective strategies.
