Abstract
The pneumatic flow tube mixing (PFTM) was developed in Japan for land reclamation and land development, in which dredged clay is stabilized with a small amount of binder in a transporting pipeline. The soil mixture forms several separated mud plugs in the pipeline and is thoroughly mixed by means of turbulent flow during the transport. The PFTM has the potential to reduce treatment costs by eliminating costs associated with material transport and improve the final product by creating a more uniform amended sediment. This method was conducted at a sediment management site in Kearny, NJ from July through September of 2015, and demonstrated to be an efficient and rapid method for soft-sediment stabilization. In this study, the in-situ strength of the field stabilized soil by the PFTM was investigated to evaluate the long-Term strength.
