Abstract:A popular construction technique in south Louisiana for many years has been the use of river sand to establish foundations for highways. The abundance of river sand and the need for it in excavation backfill operations across Louisiana's marshlands have fostered this concept.
Recent construction problems on Route I-10 in St. James Parish and the decline in pavement performance of several completed projected created questions regarding the stability of sand fills. Consequently, a "brushfire" research project was established wherein density values of sand fills at six locations along Route I-10 and along one segment of Route U.S. 90 were evaluated with depth by nuclear tests and standard penetration tests.
