Abstract
ABSTRACT To reuse dredged sludge for earth structures such as unconfined or non embankments, a methodology is proposed to characterize marine sediments. This concerns physical, hydraulic and consolidation properties which constitutes a basis for the design of any embankment with sediments. A series of 8 marine sediments coming from the French Channel coast (2) and Mediterranean sea (6) is studied using different sedimentation, oedometric and creep testing. All the results are analyzed and presented in this paper. The main data are relative to the grain size distribution and Atterberg limits and relationships between permeability and void ratio or concentration. Finally some consolidation data are summarized in comparison with compressible soils.
