abstract = "Special-purpose river port sediment was investigated for its potential use as a road
construction material. Sediment samples were extracted from three locations in three small
river ports, and detailed laboratory research was conducted to determine its basic mechanical
properties and characteristics that can potentially have an adverse influence in a roadside
environment. The results of the research conducted indicate that there is a need for systematic
monitoring of the quality and quantity of sediment in special-purpose river ports of the
Danube River Basin to maintain its mobility and prevent flooding. The basic engineering
characteristics (Proctor elements, Atterberg limits, California bearing ratio, and unconfined
compressive strength) determined represent the good potential of the sediment samples tested
herein for use in road construction. In addition, the chemical characteristics tested indicate the
need for detailed analyses of the potential environmental risk before application in civil
engineering structures",
