The main focus of the paper is to review current understanding of floc structure and strength. This has been done by reviewing current theoretical understanding of floc growth and breakage and an analysis of different techniques used for measuring floc strength. An overview has also been made of the

The breakage of activated sludge flocs under turbulent shear conditions was investigated as a function of floc size. Municipal activated sludge flocs were fractionated by sieving to narrow size fractions. Shear stress distribution functions for the breakage of activated sludge floc samples were obta
The strength of an idealised model of a floe has been examined with a view to calculating the effect of hydrodynamic forces on floe stability. Various spatial arrangements of spherical primary particles were considered joined by elastic polymer links, in accordance with the accepted bridging mechani
