Abstract: The vacuum preloading combined flocculation and solidification method (VP-FSCM) has been proposed in recent years to increase the efficiency of high-water-content slurries. The characteristic of the strength development ...

Abstract: Prediction for self-weight consolidation of dredged sludge is important for its reuse in civil engineering applications. In this work, considering the special nonlinear relationships of e – k and e – σ′ for dredged sludge, ...

Abstract: In land reclamation projects, the vacuum preloading method has been widely used to strengthen dredged fills by removing water. However, during the improvement process, clogging inevitably occurs in the drains and soils, ...
