Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The engineering index parameters, primary consolidation properties, and effective-stress strength properties of a deep-sea calcareous sediment are reported. This short-term engineering property description of the sediment is the first stage of an in-depth study of creep behavior of this sediment during consolidation and shear. The calcareous sediment sample has been classified as an inorganic silt, according to the Unified Soil Classification System. The compression index C(c), is 0.80; empirical correlations from terrestrial engineering between C(c) and other, easily and rapidly-measured index parameters may be in error by 30%. The effective angle of internal friction, phi, of the sediment, when normally consolidated, is 0.65 radians (37 degrees). No significant crushing of the hollow Foraminifera tests (shells) comprising the coarse-size fraction of the sediment was noted in the consolidation tests up to stresses of 1530 kPa (32,000 psf). It was demonstrated, however, that this coarse-size fraction does undergo significant crushing if the material finer than 0.043 millimeter is removed, suggesting that the fine-size fraction acts to distribute load on the coarse-size, test (shell) surfaces.

Book excerpt: DOSIST II (Deep Ocean Sampling and In-Situ Testing) was a cruise in the Western North Atlantic Ocean conducted to evaluate the in-place engineering behavior of several typical deep ocean sediments. In-place vane shear tests were performed, and sediment cores (gravity, piston, and box) were taken. Laboratory tests were conducted on the cored samples to classify the sediments and to determine which testing procedure best reproduces the measured in-place strength. This was found to be consolidated-undrained triaxial testing. The sediments tested in-place were a foraminifera-dominated calcareous ooze and a proximal turbidite. Both of these sediments are nearly cohesionless and retain little of their in-place strength when sampled. A deep sea pelagic clay was cored and subjected to laboratory testing, but was not tested in-place. Estimated in-place strength profiles were derived for each of these sediments to subbottom depths in excess of 50 feet (15 m).
