Book Procedures for Prediction of Consolidation in Soft Fine grained Dredged Material

Download or read book Procedures for Prediction of Consolidation in Soft Fine grained Dredged Material written by Kenneth W. Cargill and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report documents studies refining the procedures for calculation of one-dimensional consolidation behavior of very soft fine-grained dredged material. Both the conventional small strain theory of consolidation, which requires linear or constant soil properties, and the more general finite strain theory, which provides for nonlinear soil properties, are presented. Implications of the simplifying assumptions necessary in practical application of the theories are discussed and the general finite strain theory is shown to be superior for the treatment of dredged material. The governing equations for both theories are written in nondimensional terms and appropriate boundary and initial conditions are specified. Solutions in terms of figures relating the percent consolidation to the nondimensional time factor for small strain theory have been previously published. However, similar solutions based on the finite strain theory were not available and thus had to be developed. Using a computer program, a linearized nondimensional form of the general finite strain governing equation was solved for the cases of singly/doubly drained normally consolidated clays, and singly/doubly drained dredged fill. The figures given represent a significant advancement in the ability to accurately predict the consolidation behavior of thick deposits of very soft fine-grained materials having nonlinear soil properties. A method of obtaining soil parameters necessary for use of the new solution charts is proposed. (Author).

Book Evaluation of Underdrainage Techniques for the Densification of Fine Grained Dredged Material

Download or read book Evaluation of Underdrainage Techniques for the Densification of Fine Grained Dredged Material written by and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of a large-scale field experiment to evaluate the dewateirng/densifying of fine-grained dredged material with underdrainage techniques is described. The techniques evaluated were: gravity underdrainage, partial vacuum in an underdrainage layer, seepage consolidation, and seepage consolidation with a partial vacuum in the underdrainage layer. The experiment was conducted using five test sections having 30- x 30-ft bottom areas and 1v on 2H sideslopes. One section was used for each of the four techniques evaluated and a control section was not treated. Settlement, pore pressure, water content, and vane shear measurements were taken to provide a basis of evaluation. Initially, a 6-ft nominal thickness lift of dredged material was used; then, after one year, a second 6-ft lift was added. The experiment ran for approximately two years. All of the techniques evaluated produced more densification than did the test section containing untreated material. Of the techniques evaluated the partial vacuum in an underdrainage layer was the most effective. This was true with both lifts of dredged material tested but was considerably more pronounced with the first lift than the second.

Book Handbook of Dredging Engineering

Download or read book Handbook of Dredging Engineering written by John B. Herbich and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2000 with total page 1522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authoritative, up-to-date guide to dredging theory and practice. From selecting the right equipment, to evaluating environmental impact, to bidding on a project, Handbook of Dredging Engineering, Second Edition, is the last word on modern hydraulic dredging. Edited by John B. Herbich, with contributions by well-know experts in the field, the Handbook examines basic fluid mechanics; dredge pumps; dredging equipment; sediment; pipeline transport of solids; dredging methods; disposal and placement of dredged material; numerical models for predicting the fate of dredged material placed in open water; environmental effects of dredging activities; instrumentation and automation; and project planning. This vital new edition covers major advances made over the last seven years. Three chapters are new to this edition: numerical models for predicting the fate of dredged material...subaqueous capping of contaminated sediment...and removal of contaminated sediments by dredging, with illustrative case studies.
