The characterisation of cohesive sediment properties
AbstractThis paper describes apparatus, techniques and methods used by participants in MAST G6M project 4 (Cohesive Sediments) for determining cohesive sediment properties. This comparison of methods aims to stimulate a more general discussion on standardisation of techniques which will lead to characterisation of muds in terms of physical parameters. Such characterisation would allow inter-comparison of muds from different sources. Methods are given for sediment properties of grain size distribution, settling velocity and rheological parameters and for water-bed exchange properties of permeability, effective stress and critical shear stress for erosion and deposition. Accuracy and repeatability are discussed. A typical range of values is indicated for each of these parameters.
