Abstract: The finite-element method provides a convenient and effective means for solving problems of seepage in unsaturated soils. However, convergence difficulties exist in numerical simulations of unsaturated flow analyses because ...

Abstract: In this paper, the sedimentation of clayey slurry is studied using Kynch's theory. This theory is attractive as the only property needed, the permeability, can be determined from the surface settlement curve. The assumption ...

Abstract: Land reclamation is a major civil engineering activity in Singapore. Due to depletion of suitable local fills and the cost of imported sand, dredged and excavated clay fills, in spite of their poor engineering properties, ...
