Subsidence of Granular Media as a Result of Flooding
Abstract
This study is concerned with the analysis of subsidence of granular media when subjected to flooding. The primary objective is to determine the magnitude of subsidence for various granular materials. A secondary objective of the study is to correlate the subsidence of these materials to their physical properties. An exponential model is used in the analysis to determine relationships between relative density and subsidence. Relationships between coefficient of uniformity and subsidence and median particle diameter and subsidence are also investigated.
