Reinforced Soil Slopes Constructed on the Project No. 53872 Kwethluk Airport Relocation Project -1- March 2005

INTRODUCTION

A common construction practice in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of Alaska has consisted of forming embankments by placing frozen, high moisture silts with little or no controlled compaction effort other than routing construction traffic over the embankment. The embankment is then allowed to firm up through thaw and consolidation for some period of time before surfacing course is placed. Upon thawing, the fore slopes of the embankment frequently become super saturated and the slopes begin to flow. This problem is compounded if the toe of the slope intercepts open water.

The purpose of this research project is to investigate the effectiveness of using geotextiles to construct a more stable embankment that results in fewer slope failures and a reduction of longitudinal cracking, which will reduce maintenance costs and provide increased safety to the users.

This report documents the construction and performance of a runway embankment in Kwethluk Alaska, which was constructed of frozen, high moisture, fine-grained, low cohesive sandy silts, reinforced with woven geotextiles in 2003. This report also addresses the use of the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) to measure strength gains over time in the embankment.

Kwethluk is located on the Kuskokuak Slough, which is an extension of the Kuskokwim River about 19 miles upstream from Bethel. The project relocated the Kwethluk airport about 1 mile south of the existing airport. Construction plans showing these locations are found in Appendix A.

REINFORCED SOIL SLOPES

The reinforced slopes were constructed by placing horizontal layers of woven geotextiles in the fore slope of the runway embankment. There are three primary reasons for using geotextiles as reinforcement in the runway embankment.

1. Decrease the tendency for surface sloughing and slope erosion during periods of saturation.

2. Provide improved compaction at the edges of the slope.

3. Lower the likelihood of long-term stability problems developing in slopes constructed with marginal materials, which include fine-grained low cohesive sandy silts.

Four different sections were constructed along the runway fore slopes:

1. Control area with no geotextiles

2. One layer of geotextiles

3. Two layers of geotextiles

4. Three layers of geotextiles

The location of each section can be found on Figure 1. See Appendix F for specifications of the fabric that was used.

DYNAMIC CONE PENETROMETER TESTING

Dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) tests were conducted at various locations along the embankment roughly 7 months after the embankment had been placed. The DCP test data were converted to an equivalent California Bearing Ratio (CBR). The Laboratory CBR tests were performed on the sandy silt material used to construct the airport embankment. Figure 2 compares the laboratory CBR value to DCP tests taken in the runway after the surface course was placed. See Appendix B for DCP data and test locations.

In Figure 2, the first 10 inches below ground surface is surfacing course material. The DCP data demonstrates that once thawed, the embankment is well below its potential density. There appears to be some strength gain from the top of the embankment at 10” depth to about 25” in depth. Deeper than 25”, the embankment appears to loose strength.

The laboratory CBR test samples were prepared with moisture content of 12.5%. The in-place moisture content of the embankment ranged from 8% to 22.4% (measured within 2 feet of the ground surface) during the DCP testing.


EMBANKMENT SETTLEMENT

Settlement platforms were installed on the runway and apron. Readings were taken between January 19, 2003 and June 6, 2003. Settlement readings fluctuated during the construction phases. Total settlement ranged from 7.9 inches to 18.5 inches. See Appendix C for settlement data and platform locations. The settlement readings should be reviewed with caution due to the unexplained heave found in all readings.

PERFORMANCE

As of this writing, all of the slopes have performed well with no sloughs reported. No distinction can be made between any of the reinforced or non-reinforced sections.

CONCLUSION

One of the benefits of using reinforcement on the fore slopes of embankments is to achieve improved compaction at the edges of the embankment, which will improve the shear strength of the material. However, the benefit in compaction on this project is difficult to quantify because of the winter construction techniques that were used.

No slope failures have yet been observed in any of the four different sections of varying levels of reinforcement. The effectiveness of the reinforcement will become more apparent in the spring of 2005, the first breakup season since the airport was completed.


Observations made during construction indicate that the woven fabric that was used for the reinforcement was pooling water. In the future, it may be beneficial to use a fabric that has a higher permittivity, such as a nonwoven fabric.

We recommend that future reinforced soil slopes be designed on a project specific basis. We recommend using the FHWA publication entitled, “Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls and Reinforced Soil Slopes Design and Construction Guidelines” Publication No. FHWA-NHI-00-043, as a starting point for the design and analysis of reinforced slopes.
