Consolidation and strength assessment of ODP Leg 123 sediments

Twenty-one samples, ranging in depth from 0 to 150 meters below seafloor (mbsf), were obtained from Leg 123 Sites 765 and 766. All samples were tested for Atterberg limits: 14 for laboratory vane shear strength and seven for uniaxial consolidation. Based on the determined Atterberg limits, along with shipboard measurements of water content, the sediment appears to be underconsolidated from 0 to 40 mbsf at Site 765 and from 0 to 80 mbsf at Site 766. Normal consolidation trends were observed for the sediments below these depths. Vane shear strengths, when compared with calculated values for a normally consolidated clay, indicate underconsolidated sediment at both sites. However, the use of Atterberg limit and vane shear strength data to assess consolidation state is complicated by the presence of silt-sized calcium carbonate in the form of nannofossil ooze. Thus, uniaxial-consolidation test data were analyzed to determine the overconsolidation ratios (OCR) and sediment compressibilities. OCR values were found to be less than one (underconsolidated) at both sites, using two separate methods of analysis.

Consolidation characteristics and permeabilities of sediments from the Japan Sea

The results of laboratory consolidation tests and undrained shear strength determinations of sediments from the Oki Ridge and the Kita Yamato Trough show that the sediments are overconsolidated to normally consolidated to a depth of about 20 m below the seafloor. Below that depth, the sediments are highly underconsolidated, implying high excess pore-water pressures. The most probable mechanism for the generation of the excess pore-water pressure is gas in sediments.

Consolidation properties, permeabilities, grain sizes and age of samples from ODP Holes 194-1194A and 194-1198A

Uniaxial strain consolidation experiments were conducted to determine elastic and plastic properties and to estimate the permeability of sediments from 0 to 200 meters below seafloor at Ocean Drilling Program Sites 1194 and 1198. Plastic deformation is described by compression indices, which range from 0.19 to 0.37. Expansion indices, the elastic deformation measured during unload/reload cycles on samples, vary from 0.02 to 0.029. Consolidation experiments provide lower bounds on permeability between 5.4 x 10**-16 m**2 and 1.9 x 10**-18 m**2, depending on the consolidation state of the sample.
