Reuse of Untreated Fine Sediments as Filler: Is It More Beneficial than Incorporating Them as Sand?

Large amounts of sediments are dredged each year to ensure navigation. These materials, classified as waste, seem to be promising alternatives to conventional construction materials. Dredging operations, carried out by the Territorial Directorate of the Seine Basin (DTBS), generate an annual volume...

Description
Summary:Large amounts of sediments are dredged each year to ensure navigation. These materials, classified as waste, seem to be promising alternatives to conventional construction materials. Dredging operations, carried out by the Territorial Directorate of the Seine Basin (DTBS), generate an annual volume of sediments of about 150,000 m3, of which nearly 50% are fine sediments (
