From: Building on Sub-Arctic Soil: Geopolymerization of Muskeg to a Densified Load-Bearing Composite
Consolidation Testing of Modified Muskeg Composites. Unmodified muskeg (a) and modified samples (b-i) containing varying amounts of Na2SiO3 (in mL) and mulch (in units of grams). The amount of NH4OH and hydroxyethylcellulose were held constant for each modified muskeg specimen at 10 mL and 2 g, respectively. The regions outlined in plots (a) and (b) indicate the primary (red) and secondary (blue) consolidation regimes. (j) 3D plot of coefficient of consolidation as a function of the amount of added Na2SiO3 and mulch. The measurement errors for the consolidation coefficient have been calculated through error propagation rules for elementary operations and functions.
