Abstract
The lack of disposal facility of dredged clayey soils is making a problem in most of seaports. The self-weight consolidation analysis was carried out with a parameter of initial water content of disposed clay. It was shown that the selection of dredging method and transportation method of dredged soil makes a significant difference on the substantial volume of disposed soil and the lifetime of the facility. A rational approach to design the disposal facility is presented, where by combining the selection of dredging and transportation method and the pre- and post-disposal treatments of dredged clay the optimum method is determined based on self-weight consolidation analysis.
