Abstract:
This research is to investigate the properties of compressed building bricks producedfrom Cameron Highlands reservoir sediment. The particle size distribution of the sediments are graded as silt and sand. The sediments used were as total replacement of the normal soils used in the compressed soil bricks. This paper presents the compilation of experimental brick properties; compressive strength, water absorption, microstructure and heavy metal leachingof the compressed sediment bricks. The experimental results shows that increasing use of reservoir sediments decrease the compressive strength andincrease the water absorption. The heavy metal concentrations of the leachates from the leaching test are all within the regulatory limits. The optimum mix is derives from the compressive strength and the water absorption in which in this research is Mix 4, 70% sedimenta, 20% sedimentb and 10% cement,complying with ASTM C129 – Non Load Bearing Bricks [1].

Abstract:
Summary The paper focuses on the propagation of low-frequency pseudo-Rayleigh and pseudo-Scholte waves at the liquid/soft porous sediment interface with an underlying hard porous sediment half-space. The overlying liquid is assumed to be ideal compressible medium and the porous sediments are modelled by Biot theory. Based on the boundary conditions, the closed-form dispersion equations of far-field interface waves are deduced using 2-D Helmholtz decomposition theorem and Fourier transform. The velocity and attenuation of pseudo-Rayleigh and pseudo-Scholte waves are determined by Newton iteration in a reasonable rooting interval. The analytical expressions of the displacement field and liquid pressure distribution caused by interface waves are also derived. Then, the dispersion equations for four degenerate systems are derived as special cases by assuming the thickness of the liquid layer or the sandwiched porous soft sediment layer to be zero or infinite. Lastly, numerical examples are used to verify the degeneracy of the system and to analyse the propagation characteristics of pseudo-Rayleigh and pseudo-Scholte waves. They show the dependences of the velocity and displacement field on dimensionless modulus and dimensionless wavelength. When the dimensionless wavelength is small or very large, the phase velocity and displacement field calculated by the present system is the same as the special cases, thus proving the validating of the new system.

Abstract:
Abstract Sediment scouring is a common example of highly dynamic sediment transport. Considering its complexities, the accurate prediction of such a highly dynamic multiphase granular flow system is a challenge for the traditional numerical techniques that rely on a mesh system. The mesh-free particle methods are a newer generation of numerical techniques with an inherent ability to deal with the deformations and fragmentations of a multiphase continuum. This study aims at developing and evaluating a multiphase mesh-free particle model based on the weakly compressible moving particle semi-implicit (WC-MPS) formulation for simulation of sediment scouring. The sediment material is considered as a non-Newtonian viscoplastic fluid, whose behavior is predicted using a regularized μ(I) rheological model in combination with pressure-dependent yield criteria. The model is first validated for a benchmark problem of viscoplastic Poiseuille flow. It is then applied and evaluated for the study of two classical sediment scouring cases. The results show that the high-velocity flow currents and the circulations can create a low-viscosity region on the surface of the sediment continuum. Comparing the numerical results with the experimental measurements shows a good accuracy in prediction of the sediment profile, especially the shape and dimensions of the scour hole.

Abstract:
Abstract. The dynamics of glaciers are to a large degree governed by processes operating at the ice–bed interface, and one of the primary mechanisms of glacier flow over soft unconsolidated sediments is subglacial deformation. However, it has proven difficult to constrain the mechanical response of subglacial sediment to the shear stress of an overriding glacier. In this study, we present a new methodology designed to simulate subglacial deformation using a coupled numerical model for computational experiments on grain-fluid mixtures. The granular phase is simulated on a per-grain basis by the discrete element method. The pore water is modeled as a compressible Newtonian fluid without inertia. The numerical approach allows close monitoring of the internal behavior under a range of conditions. The rheology of a water-saturated granular bed may include both plastic and rate-dependent dilatant hardening or weakening components, depending on the rate of deformation, the material state, clay mineral content, and the hydrological properties of the material. The influence of the fluid phase is negligible when relatively permeable sediment is deformed. However, by reducing the local permeability, fast deformation can cause variations in the pore-fluid pressure. The pressure variations weaken or strengthen the granular phase, and in turn influence the distribution of shear strain with depth. In permeable sediments the strain distribution is governed by the grain-size distribution and effective normal stress and is typically on the order of tens of centimeters. Significant dilatant strengthening in impermeable sediments causes deformation to focus at the hydrologically more stable ice–bed interface, and results in a very shallow cm-to-mm deformational depth. The amount of strengthening felt by the glacier depends on the hydraulic conductivity at the ice–bed interface. Grain-fluid feedbacks can cause complex material properties that vary over time, and which may be of importance for glacier stick-slip behavior.

Abstract:
The paper focuses on determining foundation active zones and calculating foundation settlement which is the question of great scientific and practical interest. According to existing methodologies, researchers apply the theory of homogeneous isotropic linear-deformable medium to determine the deformation of soil foundations. In this study the authors propose to use the theory of soils compression seal and its one-dimensional problem solution to calculate the sediment of large base slabs. To justify this methodology, the authors specify the minimum size of foundation slabs. They analyze the Boussinesq's Formula and prove that compacting pressure is evenly distributed throughout the area of the slab bottom. The researchers delimit concepts of the active zone and the compressible strata. It is assumed that the compressible strata is a part of the active zone. The existing methods on calculating compressible strata capacity introduced by N.A. Tsytovich and K.E. Egorov (SP 22.13330.2016) are also analyzed in the paper. Besides, formulas of determining compressible strata capacity and of calculating slab foundation settlement are presented. Calculation results of this methodology and the method suggested in the existing code specification (CS) are produced and compared. The researches come to the conclusion that, according to CS, compressible strata capacity increases with the increase of foundation space under the same load. This corresponds to the theory of linear-deformable half-space. The authors believe that the size of slab foundation settlement depends only on the compacting pressure capacity (which coincides with the Winkler's hypothesis), and on the properties of foundation soils. The authors assign the application area of the spatial problem solution for calculating foundation settlement.

The dynamics of glaciers are to a large degree governed by processes operating at the ice–bed interface, and one of the primary mechanisms of glacier flow over soft unconsolidated sediments is subglacial deformation. However, it has proven difficult to constrain the mechanical response of subglacial sediment to the shear stress of an overriding glacier. In this study, we present a new methodology designed to simulate subglacial deformation using a coupled numerical model for computational experiments on grain-fluid mixtures. The granular phase is simulated on a per-grain basis by the discrete element method. The pore water is modeled as a compressible Newtonian fluid without inertia. The numerical approach allows close monitoring of the internal behavior under a range of conditions. Our computational experiments support the findings of previous studies where the rheology of a slowly deforming water-saturated granular bed in the steady state generally conforms to the rate-independent plastic rheology. Before this so-called critical state, deformation is in many cases accompanied by volumetric changes as grain rearrangement in active shear zones changes the local porosity. For previously consolidated beds porosity increases can cause local pore-pressure decline, dependent on till permeability and shear rate. We observe that the pore-water pressure reduction strengthens inter-granular contacts, which results in increased shear strength of the granular material. In contrast, weakening takes place when shear deformation causes consolidation of dilated sediments or during rapid fabric development. Both processes of strengthening and weakening depend inversely on the sediment permeability and are transient phenomena tied to the porosity changes during the early stages of shear. We find that the transient strengthening and weakening in turn influences the distribution of shear strain in the granular bed. Dilatant strengthening has the ability to distribute strain during early deformation to large depths, if sediment dilatancy causes the water pressure at the ice–bed interface to decline. Oppositely, if the ice–bed interface is hydrologically stable the strengthening process is minimal and instead causes shallow deformation. The depth of deformation in subglacial beds thus seems to be governed by not only local grain and pore-water feedbacks but also larger-scale hydrological properties at the ice base.

Abstract:
The paper describes the problem of consolidation of clay soil with spherical tensor and stress deviator, taking into account compressibility of pore fluid and the soil creep. In solving the problem, the differential equation is suggested for compacting cohesive soil filled with linearly compressible groundwater. It is considered that the gas volume in the groundwater does not exceed 10 %. The solution of the differential equation is based on the Fourier transform.For the numerical calculation of creep during compaction of consolidated soil an easy-touse method was used, i.e. testing of soil samples of the same monolith in the compression device, but different height. Knowing the relative vertical deformation of these samples, approximation and extrapolation methods allow to find the relative deformation at the sample height tending to zero. At almost zero sample thickness, deformation depends only on the soil creep, while the pore pressure will no longer play a role.The obtained values of the relative strain are used to select the function of the creep nucleus. It is found that the exponential function optimally describes the process of soil compaction over the entire area: from the beginning of compaction to its termination.Knowing the pressure, the stress in soil and the amount of sediment are found with a triaxial compression, taking into account its instantaneous deformation.

Abstract:
Batch sedimentation is a method that enables us to understand the mechanism of compaction and compression of sedimenting slurry. However, batch settling behaviour is a very complex phenomenon that is not easily described fully by a mathematical model. This causes unrealistically large empirical calculations when the thickener size estimations are required. Channelling, reverse concentration gradients and the initial concentration of the slurry have large effects on batch settling. Existing procedures do not provide clear relationships involving these three significant variables. In this study, batch sedimentation phenomena are examined in detail and possible explanations are given to clarify the complex behaviour using recent theories. Modern research has shown that channelling is an unwanted formation because channels can change the concentration at the bottom and top of the bed by carrying a great amount of flocs upwards. Batch sedimentation tests were performed using flocculated slurry of Calcium Carbonate at various initial concentrations such as 250 g/l, 500 g/l, 750 g/l and 1000 g/l to observe channelling and reverse concentration gradients. Flux plots for the batch system reveal behaviour which can be attributed to the upward flow of solids. In addition, photographic methods were used to observe settling processes, channelling mechanisms and flocs in the channels. One of the purposes of this work was to examine the phenomenological solid-liquid separation theory of Buscall and White (1987), which employs the material properties of the local volume fraction, compressive yield stress Py ()ö and hindered settling function R()ö to identify the material behaviour in batch sedimentation. Stepped-pressure filtration and batch settling tests were used to measure the material characteristics for the flocculated CaCO3 suspension. Experimental data were demonstrated using Height versus Time and Height versus Concentration graphs and displayed the possible region of reverse concentration gradients and channelling in the settling bed. Mathematical predictions adopted from Usher (2002) were performed employing material characteristics of the material and graphical documentations were presented. The results of mathematical predictions were compared to the experimental results and the modes of sedimentation explained by Lester et al. (2005). Fundamental theoretical models and experimental observations highlight that the main driving force for channelling is the high-pressure gradient at the bottom of the bed and the most important factors that cause channelling are high initial concentration of slurry and settling time. The predictions also show that the material and flocculant used for the batch settling tests demonstrate important effect on the settling process. The knowledge and information gained from this study is valuable to maximize the thickening process.

Abstract:
As we have seen in chapter 3, continental crust evolved from regions of the mantle that contained higher concentrations of LIL elements than regions that underlie typical ocean basins. The most complete record of this evolutionary process is in cratons, which passed through periods of rapid crust production to times of comparative stability over intervals of several hundred million years. After the cratons became stable enough to accumulate sequences of undeformed platform sediments, they moved about the earth without being subjected to further compressive tectonic activity. Because many of the cratons are also partly covered by sediments that are unmetamorphosed or only slightly metamorphosed, they appear to have undergone very little erosion since the sediments were deposited. Thus, a craton may be considered as a large block of continental crust that has been permanently removed from the crustal recycling process. This chapter starts with a discussion of the history of cratons as interpreted from studies of the upper part of the crust. We describe the Superior craton of the Canadian shield and the Western Dharwar craton of southern India within the chapter and use appendix E for brief summaries of other typical cratons. These cratons and numerous others elsewhere developed at different times during earth history, and we look for similarities and differences that may have been caused by progressive cooling of the earth (chapter 2). This section concludes with a summary of the general evolution of cratons and the meaning of the terms “Archean” and “Proterozoic.” The following section is an investigation of processes that occurred following stabilization, all of which take place in the presence of fluids that permeate the crust. We include a summary of these fluids and their effects on anorogenic magmatism and separation of the lower and upper crust. The final section discusses the relationship between cratons and their underlying subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). Continual metasomatism and metamorphism of the SCLM after cratons develop above it apparently has not destroyed the relationship between the ages of the cratons and the concentrations of major elements in the SCLM. This provides us with an opportunity to determine whether cratons evolved from the mantle beneath them or by depletion of much larger volumes of mantle. The discussions in this chapter are based partly on information summarized in appendices B (heat flow) and D (isotopes).

Abstract:
As continents moved from Pangea to their present positions, they experienced more than 100 million years of geologic history. Compressive and extensional stresses generated by collision with continental and oceanic plates formed mountain belts, zones of rifting and strike-slip faulting, and magmatism in all of these environments. In this chapter we can only provide capsule summaries of this history for each of the various continents, but many of their salient features have been discussed as examples of tectonic processes in earlier chapters. The final section analyzes the breakup of Pangea as part of the latest cycle of accretion and dispersal of supercontinents. Because it involves continuation of this cycle into the future, it is necessarily very speculative. Figure 10.1 shows approximate patterns of movement of each continent from its position in Pangea to the present. The dominant feature of this pattern is northward movement of all continents except Antarctica, which has remained over the South Pole for more than 250 million years. Shortly after geologists recognized the concept of continental drift, this movement was referred to by the German word “Polflucht” (flight from the pole) because all of the continents were seen to be fleeing from the South Pole. The only continent that did not simply move northward was Eurasia, which essentially rotated clockwise and changed its orientation from north–south to east–west. Comparison of fig. 10.1 with fig. 8.12a (locations of continents shortly before the assembly of Gondwana) shows that the net effect of the last 580 million years of earth history has been a transfer of most continental crust from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. Accretion and compression against the southern margin of Eurasia constructed a series of mountain belts from the Pyrenees in the west to the numerous ranges of Southeast Asia in the east. This collision generated extensional and transtensional forces that opened rifts and pull-apart basins. Tectonic loading created foreland basins with sediment thicknesses of several kilometers. Opposite the area where the collision of India caused the most intense compression, the extensional basins are interspersed with mountain ranges that were lifted up intracontinentally. We divide the discussion of Eurasia into a section where compression dominates to the south (present orientation) of the former margin of Pangea and a section that describes processes within the landmass to the north.

The uniaxial compressive tests are conducted on synthetic gas hydrate-bearing sediment samples by using the low-temperature high-pressure triaxial test system. The effects of the temperature, the strain rate and the failure time on the uniaxial compressive strength of hydrate sediment are measured. The results indicate that: (a) The uniaxial compressive strength is sensitive to the change of temperature and increases exponentially as temperature decreases. (b) The uniaxial compressive strength of hydrate sediment changes with the strain rate obviously, and increases with the strain rate increasing following a power function. (c) The uniaxial compressive strength increases with the failure time decreasing following a power function.

Abstract:
The actual shortage of land aggregates and environmental concerns raised by dumping at sea of dredged sediments (DS), more than ever, DS could constitute a new source of building materials. This experimental study investigates the potential of using DS from harbour of Oran in tunnel construction; the first objective is to determine their chemical, physical and mineralogical characteristics. The concept of enhancing building material characteristics based on the component characteristics of DS is considered. Thus, the treatment by the leaching and the natural decantation is used to decrease their salt and water content. Finally, the influence of various percentages of DS (from 20%, to up to 35% of sand mass by DS) in the mechanical behaviour of mortars was analyzed. Compressive strengths of a first set of mortar specimens were determined after 7, 28, 60 and 90 days of moist curing. The second set of mortar specimens, that were submitted to chemical attacks and elevated temperatures, had their residual compressive strengths determined at 118 days and 150 days. So far, laboratory results show that partial replacement of 20% or 25% of sand by DS in mortars give good results.

Abstract:
The type of particulate systems encountered in legacy nuclear waste slurries is highly complicated, with the aggregation and flow behaviour being at times very variable. However, deconstructing the complex overall slurry activity to singular particle-particle interactions can lead to a greater understanding of the mechanisms involved with particle aggregation, and so to predictions of their settling and flow in nuclear systems. Of particular importance to legacy waste is the role of salts in controlling the attraction of particles (and so in dictating the rheological properties of the system) as sludge may contain a variety of specific ions and generally have high ionic conductivity [1]. In this paper, particle-particle interactions are characterised using a number of complimentary methods, and their influence on resulting flow and bed compression is measured. The methods used to characterise the particle-particle interactions under various salt and pH conditions were electroacoustic analysis (zeta potential) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Following on from the analysis of particle-particle properties, bulk sediment behaviour was investigated using shear and compressive yield stress measurements, vital parameters in dictating flow and dewatering performance, respectively. Together, these techniques enable the characterisation of a range of particulate systems that may be encountered in legacy wastes, and results point to a number of important factors that can help explain the observed variability in industrial slurry behaviour.
