CHARACTERISTIC OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ICE-DAMMED CLAYS FROM RADZYMIN AREA BASED ON PRESSUREMETER TESTS
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2011, Vol 446, Issue 446
Abstract
The paper presents the results of engineering-geological studies of ice-dammed clays from Radzymin area in Poland. The mechanical parameters were obtained from the in situ tests performed with Menard pressuremeter. Tests were carried out using up to date control-test unit GeoSPAD. The results were set and compared with those from static test (CPT) and dilatometer test (DMT). Pressuremeter modulus, creep pressure, limit pressure and coeffi cient of earth pressure at rest and others parameters were evaluated. The differences between the results obtained from selected method were noticed. Geological conditions of ice-dammed clays in study area were also presented in the paper.
