Rheological Characteristics of Fine-Grained Soil-Slurries
Journal of Testing and Evaluation, 2018Abstract Various natural and man-made scenarios such as rainfall-induced terrestrial landslides, offshore landslides, mudflows, and transportation of mud by pipelines and dredging activities involve fine-grained soils, minerals, and sediments with very high moisture contents (i.e., the slurry state).

Diffusivity in Consolidating of Fine-Grained Soils
To maintain navigable waterways, each year extremely large volumes of material are dredged. Materials removed from harbours and rivers by dredging operations, consists of solids from the bottom of the waterway along with large amounts of water. Due to the high water content of dredged material, the sites which dispose the materials are generally not ...openaire +2 more sources
Erodibility of Fine Grained Soils and New Soil Test
Erosion of Soils and Scour of Foundations, 2005This paper deals with the erodib ility of soils in general and fine grained soils in particular. A definition of erodibility is first proposed. Then, the erodibility of fine grained soils is discussed including the soil properties influencing the resistance to erosion. It is found that it is a combination of many common soil properties which combine to

Permeation grouting of a fine-grained pyroclastic soil
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Ground Improvement, 2006A research activity was recently started at the University of Napoli Federico II on the unusual application of permeation grouting to low-permeability soils and rocks. The project is aimed at finding a means for remedying some of the geotechnical hazards that involve the subsoil of Napoli, mostly made in its upper part of collapsible, unsaturated ...

Desiccation Cracks in Saturated Fine-Grained Soils
2011The formation of desiccation cracks in clay has been understood based on tensile strength. However, this mechanistic model disregards the cohesionless, effective stress dependent frictional behavior of fine grained soils. We suggest an alternative theory using analyses, numerical simulations based on an effective stress formulation, and experiments ...

Partitioning of Arsenic Species in Fine-Grained Soils
Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 1997It has been theoretically and experimentally shown that rate-limited sorption/desorption can have a profound effect upon the transport of sorbing contaminants. The advection/dis-persion equation that has been traditionally used to model contaminant transport uses a retardation factor to account for sorption, thereby implicitly assuming local ...

Pedogenic carbonate formation in fine-grained soils
Clumped isotope thermometry (T(∆47)) of soil carbonates provides an estimate of soil temperature at the time of mineral formation. Historically, that temperature has been interpreted to represent a warm-season soil temperature based on modern calibration studies largely done in (very) coarse-grained soils.Rachel Havranek +3 more

Self-healing in fractured fine-grained soils
Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2003Fine-grained soils, when exposed to cyclic freezing and thawing, generally, but not always, experience considerable increases in hydraulic conductivities, due to the formation of a system of fissures and cracks. Some soils, such as nonplastic or very low-plastic soils on the one hand, or very highly swelling soils on the other hand, do not experience ...
