Project Description

Diaz•Yourman & Associates (DYA) performed a geotechnical field investigation and laboratory testing for the proposed flood control improvements in the Santa Maria River Basin in Santa Barbara County, California, for the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

The purpose of DYA’s investigation was to provide geotechnical data for the design of the proposed project. The scope of our services consisted of the following tasks:

Conducting a field investigation

Performing geotechnical laboratory tests on selected soil samples

Performing a soil-cement design study on representative bulk soil material collected adjacent to the toe of slope

Preparing a written report documenting the results of the geotechnical laboratory tests and soil-cement study tests
