Influence of settling behaviour of soil particles on the consolidation properties of dredged clay sediment

open access: yes, 2013
Placement of dredged spoils in a slurry form and allowing self-weight consolidation is common in land reclamation works carried out adjacent to water bodies. The influence of the settling behavior of soil particles in clay-water slurry on the homogeneity

Characterization of Dredged Sediment Used in Coastal Restoration and Marsh Creation Projects

open access: yes, 2014
To minimize coastal land loss and create new land, dredged sediment has been in use in coastal Louisiana during the last several years. Engineering properties and material characteristics of dredged material are input parameters in several mathematical ...

Feasibility of treating contaminated dredged sediments using ultrasound with acoustic and flow fields

open access: yes, 2008
The US requires long-term alternatives to dispose more than 230 million cubic meters of dredged material per year. The dredged sediments in a slurry form need to be de-watered, remediated and disposed.

Full-scale field study on cyclic vacuum preloading for dredged slurry-reclaimed ground

open access: yes
Vacuum preloading with prefabricated vertical drains is a widely employed method for the treatment of slurry ground. Conventionally, a constant vacuum pressure of 85 kPa is maintained throughout the treatment, leading to significant energy consumption ...

Solutions to estimate the excess PWP, settlement and volume of draining water after slurry deposition. Part I: impervious base

open access: yes, 2020
In coastal engineering, the storage of dredged sludge needs the construction of containment structures. In mining engineering, the surface disposal of tailings slurry requires the construction of tailings dam.

Radio-frequency slurry-density measurement for dredging pipelines

open access: yes, 2011
Hydraulic dredgers make use of a density meter to measure the instantaneous density in the slurry transport pipeline, primarily for process control and production calculation. the current ‘golden’ standard for slurry density measurement is the radioactive density meter. It is based on a slurry density-dependent absorption of gamma radiation.
