Errata for “Field Evaluation of Crushed Glass-Dredged Material Blends” by Dennis G. Grubb, Atwood F. Davis, Steven C. Sands, Michael Carnivale, III, Joseph Wartman, and Patricia M. Gallagher

Publication: Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering
Volume 133, Issue 1
The following correction should be noted.
The following should replace Equation (1) in the original paper to determine the CG content of the CG-DM blend (CGBlend) :
CGBlend=(CFBlendCFDM)(CFCGCFDM)
(1)
This change also requires modification to Table 2 and Fig. 5 which contain data regarding the calculated CG contents (overall and by lift) and their statistics. The use of the corrected Eq. (1) has produced minor shifts in overall blending performance, yet well within the specified tolerance limits for the entire embankments. In this regard, the main discussion remains unaffected by this change. However, the impact on individual sample (Table 2) and stockpile (Table 2, Fig. 5) results has meant that some values are now slightly noncompliant due to the increased variance. The change in results is through no fault of the pug-milling contractor who complied with the QA/QC data provided under the original equation to guide field adjustments to the blending strategies.
