Soil destabilization tests were conducted at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station to investigate the feasibility of constructing soft-soil vehicle barriers. Six test pits and one vehicle trap were constructed using a water-retaining agent (Hydro-Gel). Test results showed that soft-soil areas could be constructed to serve as a vehicle barriers. However, additional research is needed to develop a more suitable moisture-retaining material because of the seepage and wicking that occurred with the Hydro-Gel.
