High Water Content Materials

The papers contained in this volume cover a broad range of topics. Various types of high water content materials are discussed, including peats and organic soils, soft silts and clays, betonite slurries, paper sludges, wastewater sludges, dredgings, lime wastes, and mine tailings. Several pa-pers address contaminated materials. Geotechnical problems include handling and disposal, dewa-tering, stabilization, hydraulic performance, settlement, stability, in situ testing, and construction. The papers highlight recent developments in these areas with emphasis given to construction on marginal lands and dewatering and disposal of high water content waste materials.
