Rising from the river

Article Abstract:

Correct placement of geotextiles and dike construction methods are necessary to attain the required tensile reinforcement in dredged-material containment facilities. Data from Wilmington Harbour South Disposal Area, Delaware, show that continuous settlement of the dredged material accompany advancing creep of geotextile. The stress on the geotextile in this dike varies with places. The piezometric elevations and lateral displacements have become almost constant. Strip drains are required to increase subgrade consolidation.

Light-rail as planned

Article Abstract:

A 231 US dollar extension to the light-rail system in San Diego has been built to relieve urban congestion in the city. The Mission Valley West construction is 6.1 miles long and terminates at the Qualcomm Stadium. It was constructed early, in Nov 1997 instead of the expected Jan 1998 deadline following commencement in Mar 1995. The extension was designed by Boyle Engineering Corp., California.
