REPORT:
Gravity-Driven Consolidation of Granular Slurries -- Implications for Debris-Flow Deposition and Deposit Characteristics


-- J.J. Major, 2000,
Gravity-Driven Consolidation of Granular Slurries -- Implications for Debris-Flow Deposition and Deposit Characteristics: Journal of Sedimentary Research, vol.70, no.1, January 2000, p.64-83.
Fresh debris-flow deposits consolidate under their own weight. How quickly they consolidate (dissipate excess pore-fluid pressure and compact) affects their resistance to remobilization as well as their sedimentologic and stratigraphic characteristics. Here, analysis of small-volume (~0.05 m3) noncohesive debris-flow slurries and larger (~10 m3) experimental debris-flow deposits reveals the nature, rate, and magnitude of consolidation of typical debris-flow deposits. -- Major, 2000
