Description
The objective of the study was to validate the performance of blocked-faced Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) wall and to validate the Colorado Department of Transportation's (CDOT) decision to waive the positive block connection for closely-spaced reinforcement. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the GRS wall measurements of this study demonstrated that facing pressure decreases as load increases. This counter-intuitive fact is due to the decrease...

Description
Pavement construction and maintenance problems due to the presence of sulfates in limestabilized subgrade soils have been widely reported in many transportation projects. In Colorado, problems associated with sulfate-induced distresses have been observed at the Denver International Airport and, more recently, at the U. S. Highway 287 Berthoud By-pass project. It would be desirable if CDOT engineers could count on alternative soil stabilization techniques...

The idea for this handbook grew out of the recovery efforts after the 2013 Colorado flood and federally declared disasters. The Lefthand, Big Thompson, Little Thompson and Saint Vrain watersheds were all heavily impacted by the 2013 flood. All four watersheds have since been involved in numerous storm recovery and stewardship projects, many of which were funded by the Department of Local Affairs disaster recovery program.Through the course of these...

Description
The 2013 Front Range Floods were highly detrimental to Colorado, impacting human life, infrastructure, and water quality. Furthermore, the flood caused historic levels of damage to stream channels, floodplains, and riparian areas. The purpose of this manual is to provide restoration practitioners and regulators who work in Colorado with guidelines for planning, design, and construction of stream bank protection. In particular, it prioritizes the...
