AbstractA method to evaluate terrain properties of sediments under water is proposed for the design of new equipment, such as fully submersible bulldozers and cutter suction dredgers, as well as the evaluation of trafficability conditions.The method consists of a simple prediction of the soil profiles, such as water content, void ratio, undrained shear strength and effective pressure, using the liquid limit of surface sediments based on a compression law of soils.
