Reservoir Sediment Reinforced with Geobag for Backfill Applications
Publication: Innovative and Sustainable Use of Geomaterials and Geosystems
Abstract
Reservoir sediments (RS) are difficult to dispose of because of their high water content and soft nature. This study proposed a novel approach using RS as an ingredient in controlled low strength materials (CLSM) and then reinforced it with geobag to facilitate the storage and for backfill applications. Test results have shown that initially geotextile provided significant contribution for the strength improvement of RS-based CLSM. However, the effect of reinforcement appears to be highly dependent on the types of geotextile and the original strength of RS-based CLSM. The results show a promising solution to reuse reservoir sediment, save the natural resource of granular fill, and ensure the quality of backfill constructions in most cases.
