S&T Project 8284: Cracked Embankment Erosion Test 7 Video File
The title of this test was Cracked Embankment Erosion Test (CEET) 7. This test took place on July 10, 2017. The material used was Highland Clay and had a Plasticity Index (PI) of 27, classified as a lean to fat clay (CH/CL), had 95.4% passing the No. 200 sieve, the maximum unit weight was 108.54 pounds per cubic feet, and a moisture content of 17.05%, 3.6 dry optimum. The embankment was constructed using a pneumatic tamper to 102.1% compaction at optimum with approximately 1-inch lifts over a three-week period. The average void ratio was 0.57 and the average degree of saturation was 81.62. The embankment was 10 feet long (upstream to downstream), 1.5 feet wide, and 3 feet tall. The embankment was built using a stair step construction. The steps were removed prior to the test. The surface was not scarified prior to testing. The test crack was a 3/8-inch continuous crack both vertically and horizontally. Speed tests were conducted throughout the experiment.
