Finite Strain Consolidation Analysis Software
Slurry Consolidation Short Course
Slurry consolidation short course is intended for beginner to intermediate level practitioners and researchers. This course will equip you with the basics of slurry hindered-sedimentation and consolidation. You will be able to perform design and analysis using FSCA software. The contents of the course are as follows:
-
Introduction to the consolidation problems and solutions.
-
Slurry dewatering phenomena.
-
Particulate settling.
-
Hindered-sedimentation.
-
Consolidation.
-
-
Other related phenomena.
-
Segregation.
-
Creep.
-
Channelization.
-
-
Existing theories and assumptions.
-
Available models.
-
Design and analysis using FSCA software.
-
Theory vs. practice.
The Slurry consolidation short course is offered on a requested basis. FSCA software (one year license) will be given as part of the course.
