| Summary: | Variation of density for statically deposited cohesive sediment bed was investigated
under the effect of salinity and consolidation period. The density of natural mud and
kaolinite bed was found to increase with depth. This was due to the variation in initial
suspension concentration and overburden. Salinity is found to have little effect on bed
density, while consolidation causes the bed density to increase with depth. Overall
density for kaolinite is higher than natural mud. The density profile for seven test beds
is nearly S shape |
