Abstract
Along normally dry rivers in the arid southwestern United States soil-cement has become a popular method of protecting banks and bridge abutments from erosion and collapse during floods. This paper focuses on construction of soil-cement bank protection. Construction topics discussed Include control of water, central mixing plants, and the equipment needed to, transport, spread, compact and cure soil-cement built in stair-stepped fashion on relatively steep riverbanks. Additionally the materials, mixture proportions and section dimensions of soil-cement bank protection, are discussed. Production rates and cost factors are also presented.
