RésuméLa vitesse du son est mesurée dans des sédiments marins lors d'une étude expé-rimentale du tassement. Durant la phase de sédimentation, la vitesse du son diminue légèrement, puis lors de la phase de compaction elle s'accroît avec ta charge et la réduction de porosité (modèles de WOOD (1941) et de NOBES (1989). Le suivi du phénomène met en évidence le réarrangement graduel de la structure des particules et l'apparition de la rigidité pour une porosité seuil (environ 0,70). La différence de comportement acoustique entre les matériaux argileux et carbonatés résulte essentiellement de la granulométrie qui contrôle la réorganisation des grains. AbstractAn experimental study which measure the sound velocity during the settling of marine sediments is presented. In the first step the sound velocity slightly decrease during decantation stage, in the second step it increases with loading and porosity reduction during compaction stage [WOOD (1941) and NOBES (1989) models). The follow of the process shows the progressive rearrangement of particules structure and the acquisition of rigidity appears at a threshold porosity (about 0.70). Acoustical behaviour of argileous and calcareous sediments mainly differs owing to grain-size distribution which control the particles reorganization.• 351, cours de la Libération, 33405 Talence. 50N° 57 REVUE FRANÇAISE DE GÉOTECHNIÛUE
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
