Abstract
The author is involved in a scientific research project at the Ghent University-Laboratory of Geotechnics, funded by the Flemish Environmental Technology Platform (MIP). The aim of this research is to possibly modify the consolidation behaviour of dredged material of mineral origin, as well as to look after a possible stiffness increase of the slurries, by adding flocculants. This paper will discuss in more detail the "seepage induced consolidation test". Indeed, this setup will be used to determine while measuring accurately the changes in void ratio and permeability for a large variety of very small effective stresses. The analysis of the test data is based on the large strain consolidation theory using the SICTA programme (Abu-Heyleh et Znidarcic, 1992) with solver engine in a spread sheet frame. In the newly developed experimental setup it was tried to improve the reliability of the testing method as well as to automate all testing steps. The new equipment and test analysis are shown in this paper together with some preliminary results on a reference kaolin clay material.
