APPENDIX A
BULKING FACTOR DERIVATION
Define in situ volume VTi as follows:
(A1)
VTi = Vsi + VFi + VVi
where
Vsi = volume sand, in situ or initial
VFi = volume fines, in situ or initial
VVi = volume voids, in situ or initial
Define dewatered sediment volume VTf (final total volume) as follows:
VTf = ( - xv )Vsi + VFi + VVf
(A2)
1
where
xv = efficiency of sand removal, by volume
VVf = volume voids, final
Define the overall bulking factor as
VTf
b=
(A3)
VTi
By definition, total or wet density is
MT
(A4)
ρt =
VT
where
MT = total mass of water and solids
VT = total volume of voids and solids
= total volume of water and solids, at 100 percent saturation (V voids = Vwater)
