Mechanical properties of dewatered dredged clay lumps

摘要

The mechanical dewatering technique has been developed to decrease the volume of clay slurry.rnIn the case where it is possible to utilize dewatered clay lumps as geomaterials for embankment, two effectsrnon extension of the life of disposal pond can be achieved simultaneously. In this paper, the mechanical propertiesrnof individual dewatered clay lump and aggregates are described based on the results of laboratory testsrnand a large scale trial construction. The dewatered clay lumps are confirmed to be a good geomaterial.
