Therefore...

..., the influence of initial water content on the mechanical behaviour of solidified dredged sludge is investigated. Water consumptions for three types of cement are measured after solidification with different w/c ratios. It has been observed that the three types of cement consume different quantities of water...

...M. Boutouil; D. Levacher Investigations into the cement-based solidification of dredged sludge have been undertaken using a statistical analysis based on a fractional factorial experimental design. In Part I, the effects of cement content, type of cement, curing conditions and additives (lime, road...

...M. Boutouil; D. Levacher Dredged materials management is significantly affected both by the scarcity of landfills and by environmental regulations. It has been found that solidification can improve the mechanical properties of sediments, rendering them fit for reuse in various applications...
