Permeability Coefficients of Dredged Slurries at High Void Ratio

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to sediment rates of slurries in initial stages, permeability coefficients of samples applied in this article is obtained. It shows that the permeability coefficients of dredged slurry determined from sedimentation tests are feasible. In bi-logarithm coordinates, permeability coefficients of dredged slurries increase linearly with the increasing of void ratio. Permeability coefficients, however, increase abruptly when slurries change from soil state into fluid state. At last, a model on the relationship between void ratio and permeability coefficients of dredged slurries is obtained.
