Study on Non-Contaminated Dredged Materials as an Alternative Reclamation Fill
Group 12-01
Testing of our solution design:
Preparation:
We used rice, vegetables (bok choy), a watermelon, sausage casings, soybean milk and luncheon meat for our solution design.
•For rice, we cooked the rice before blending it with 50 ml of water
•For vegetables, we boiled the vegetables and blended it with 50 ml of water
•For the fruits, we bought a fresh watermelon and juiced it
•For sausage casings, we skinned the sausages and blended the casings with 50 ml of water
•For soybean products, we used a packet of soybean milk for our experiment.
•Lastly, for the luncheon meat, we blended the raw luncheon meat with 50 ml of water.
Our Procedure:
1. We measured 100g of the Soft Cohesive Soils (SCS)
2. We measured 10ml of the different solutions and added them to the SCS
3. We added 10ml of water to facilitate the mixing process
4. We mixed the SCS and the solution together
5. We made two mixtures for each solution : one to microwave for two minutes and one to leave to air-dry
