Abstract:

In very soft sediments, questions have arisen concerning the capability of standard computational techniques used to implement calculations. The problems mainly lie in the manner in which the models are used. The problems become more apparent when settling predictions need to be made for solids-suspensions. The most common predictive methods for application to the solids settling problem center around the classical sedimentation and consolidation models. Application of thickening theories as alternatives has also been considered. The papers in this publication address theories two aspects of sedimentation/consolidation?theories and predictions, and validation and field studies.
