Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 2005-01-01 Abstract In 2001 a DIOC-project was started at Delft University of Technology on the behaviour of mud in the water column. In this project the behaviour, spreading and settling velocity of fines is studied. After an introductional literature review on the behaviour of fines released due to dredging, the focus was placed on the behaviour of the fines on the sea bed. According to our hypothesis. the fines that settle on the sediment bed can be transported into the bed, thereby changing the sediment properties. This intrusion can take place due to pressure gradients underneath waves, pressure gradients over bedforms, ripple migration, bioturbation, anthropogenic influences or combinations of these. A literature review has taken place to determine the possibility and probability of this fine sediment intrusion into the bed. The results of this literature review are presented herein.
