Abstract: The method of fragments is a simple technique for determining the flow rate, pore water pressure, and exit gradient in two-dimensional confined flow problems. This method is extended to a three-dimensional hydraulic fill ...

Abstract: The vertical stresses within granular fills contained in trenches can be determined using Marston’s theory or numerical modeling. Marston’s theory gives only the average value of the vertical stress at a depth. Numerical ...

Abstract: A series of laboratory tests was performed to evaluate the effect of clay fabric, altered due to the addition of hydrated lime into slurry, on the primary and secondary consolidation behavior of dredged mud samples. In ...

Abstract: Ports use soft dredged material for land reclamation to address land scarcity and environmental constraints. Land reclaimed with soft dredged material has the properties of high compressibility and slow consolidation that ...

Abstract: Often granular materials are stored in vertical containers with circular or square cross sections. The storage material can be food grains, pharmaceutical powders, chemical pellets, or geomaterials such as mine fills. The ...
