Knowledge of the rate at which the compression of the soil layer takes place is essential from design considerations. This can be achieved by determining the value of the coefficient of consolidation, cv . To obtain cv , it is essential to conduct a routine one-dimensional consolidation test. With the obtained time-compression data, and using any one of the several available curve-fitting proce...

In this study, we performed one dimensional cylindrical sedimentation tests to investigate the impact of clay mineralogy, ionic concentration, valence on sedimentation, and self-consolidation behavior clay. The result at 1,000% 2,000% water content indicates that = showed higher coefficient initial settling velocity, faster initiation termination self-consolidation. Additionally, velocity decre...

The effect of biodegradation on the consolidation characteristics of an anaerobically digested, dewatered municipal sewage sludge was studied. Maintained-load oedometer consolidation tests that included measurement of the pore fluid pressure response were conducted on moderately degraded sludge material and saturated bulk samples that had been stored under static conditions and allowed to anaer...

PURPOSE We evaluated a novel therapy for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) with induction immunochemotherapy with high-dose methotrexate, temozolomide, and rituximab (MT-R) followed by intensive consolidation with infusional etoposide and high-dose cytarabine (EA). In addition, we evaluated the prognostic value of the minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC(min)) derived from ...

Compressibility of a soil mass is its susceptibility to decrease in volume under pressure and is indicated by soil characteristics like coefficient of compressibility, compression index and coefficient of consolidation. However, the determination of soil compressibility characteristics in the labs is a cumbersome and time consuming process, especially in the case of fine grained soils. In the p...

geotechnical investigations of waste fills are rarely undertaken, and consequently the geotechnical community has little knowledge of their engineering properties. in this study, a geotechnical testing program was conducted to evaluate the engineering properties of old municipal solid waste sampled in whamyung msw landfill site, busan, korea. the conducted tests included water content, specific...

Saturated fine-grained soils can undergo large settlements over a long period of time. Therefore, the estimation of both the total settlement and the rate of change of cohesive soils under field loading is essential for geotechnical engineering design and analysis. The total settlement can be determined from deformation moduli such as the tangent constrained modulus, M, while the time rate of s...
