Flow Channeling In Soft Clays

这项建议的目的是研究 集中流动通道的土壤中，当流动 速度超过一个临界值，以便有更好的 了解非常软的土壤的行为， 合并。 流动通道的形成可以 使固结理论的应用失效 并可能通过以下方式产生有益影响： 增加水力传导性，加速 巩固进程。

The objective of this proposal is to study the development of concentrated flow channels in the soils when flow velocity exceeds a critical value in order to have a better understanding about the behavior of very soft soils during consolidation. The formation of flow channels could invalidate the application of consolidation theory to these cases and potentially could have a beneficial effect by increasing the hydraulic conductivity and accelerating the consolidation process.
