Study on Consolidation Test for Fresh Soft Dredger Fill

Abstract:

The consolidation test was performed to samples of fresh soft dredger fill with heights of 2cm, 3cm and 4cm with full-automatic pneumatic consolidometer. The results show that: the soil sample deforms greatly during the consolidation with significant decrease in water content and small consolidation coefficient. The sample height has negligible effect on the deformation rate, compression modulus, compressibility coefficient, etc., while it is closely related to the consolidation coefficient with an inverse relationship.
