Correlation Relationship Analysis of Physical Mechanics Properties and Pores Microstructures

Abstract

Fine-grained soil plays an important role in strength and deformation of dredger mud consolidation. The microstructure and mechanics would be related closely to each other by experiments, simulations and calculations. But with the exception of effective consolidation, the dredger mud with the fluency structure variation would be quantifiably explained about the variation by visible microstructures and the consolidation mechanics. Quantitative correlations between microstructures and macro properties had been evaluated. It had been demonstrated that mechanical properties of the SFG soil were closely correlated to the meso and the nano scale clusters of porosity and mineral.
