A Nonlinear Model for Small-Strain Consolidation of Soft Muds
Publication: World Water & Environmental Resources Congress 2003
Abstract
This study focuses on the modeling and simulation of the self-weight consolidation process of newly-sediment mud deposits occurring in a vertical sedimentation column for low stress values. It describes the derivation steps of the governing equation in an Eulerian coordinate system where material deformation is referenced to the impermeable bottom of the sedimentation column.
