• Abstract:
  Even with an increase in the amount of CCPs used in concrete construction, soil stabilization, and other applications, the coal power ; industry must dispose of a significant amount of fly ash and bottom ash. One potential avenue for the material is to develop a riprap to ; armor bridge abutments, bridge pilings, streambeds, and shorelines against scour and ice damage. The proposed research plan is ; divided into three (3) phases, which consist of the following: ;  Phase I – Product & Criteria Development ;  Phase II – Prototype Development & Testing ;  Phase III – Production Plant Design ; Phase I involves determining the most appropriate applications for the synthetic riprap. There are several ranges of potential products ; available depending on the specific applications, including bridge pier scour prevention, channel stabilization, lake boundary erosion ; control, and shoreline protection. Once the potential product areas have been determined, the next part of Phase I will be to determine ; the necessary design requirements and specifications for the riprap. Phase II involves prototype development and testing based on the ; results from Phase I. Phase III involves development of a production plan and facility layout.
