Environmental Effects of Dredging. Refinement and Simplification of Column Settling Tests for Design of Dredged Material Containment Areas.

Abstract

The purpose of this note provides background and theory concerning the settling dredged material slurries, a description of the evolution of column settling test procedures, and the technical basis for certain simplifications to the test procedures that are not contained in other published reports. This note does not repeat the detailed instructions for conducting column settling tests that are contained in the recently issued Engineer Manual (EM) 1110-2-5027, Confined Disposal of Dredged Material (Office, Chief of Engineers (OCE) US Army 1987). -BKA
