Abstract:

Because of different compositions and depositional environments, the natures of dredger fills are different. In this paper, Tianjin marine soft soil is used as material to simulate site environment to study the strength growth in soft dredger fill. Experiments show that the different conditions of pressure and drainage affect the growth of soft dredger fill greatly. When conditions are conducive to the drainage of water in soil, the growth of strength is significant. The effect on soil strength growth by overburden pressure is through some possible drainage; when drainage conditions are bad, and the pressure increased, the strength grows slowly and little; on the contrary, it grows faster and absolute value is large.

Key words: soft dredger fill, yield stress, drainage conditions, overburden pressure, site simulation
