Refined Method of Predicting Consolidation of Confined Dredged Material
This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. Recent studies of the consolidation aspects of dredged material behavior have led to an improved method of predicting settlement with time in confined disposal areas. The studies was part of the Dredging Operations Technical Support (DOTS) Program's work unit for verification and refinement of engineering methodologies for dredged material disposal operations. Predictions of consolidation have long been made using a small-strain theory developed by Terzaghi in the 1920s. The new method is based on the finite-strain theory of consolidation, which takes into account the nonlinearity of soil compressibility, the variable nature of soil permeability, and the very large strains undergone during the consolidation process. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Dr. Kenneth Cargill, Geotechnical Laboratory, U.S. Army Waterways Station, CE, Vicksburg, Miss.
