Phase Relations in Marine Soils
Publication: Journal of Geotechnical Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 4
Abstract
Pore water in marine sediments contains dissolved salts. For marine clays and biogenous oozes which have high void ratios, the dissolved salts should be taken into account in determining soil void ratio, water content, dry density, specific gravity, porosity and degree of saturation. This paper presents phase relations for marine sediments and provides correct equations for various index properties. It also provides equations for different relations taking into account the necessary corrections for dissolved salts in marine soils.
