Engineering Characteristics of Dredged Clay
준설점성토의 공학적 특성
Abstract
Although the purpose of dredging in the past was merely as a means of lowering the water level, presently land reclamation from dredged fill is of greater interest. From an economical standpoint, due to the difficulties in acquiring landfill for coastal projects, there is a growing trend toward simply using easily obtainable marine clay for use as fill. But because the ground formed by dredged fill has but low strength and is accompanied by large settlements, it is important that the engineering characteristics be fully investigated. In order to use dredged Masan marine clays as fill material, the engineering characteristics have been studied in this paper.
