GEOTECHNIC MAPPING TEST ON THE SITE OF THE RING IN BRUXELLES

POGING TOT GRONDMECHANISCHE KARTERING TER PLAATSE VAN DE BRUSSELSE RINGLAAN

A GEOTECHNIC MAPPING TEST WAS CARRIED OUT ON A SECTION OF THE BRUXELLES RING. THE ISOCLINAL CURVES OF EMBANKMENTS, QUARTERNARY SILT AND DIFFERENT TERTIARY STRATA WERE ESTABLISHED USING BASIC DATA SUPPLIED BY SOIL INVESTIGATIONS, SOIL MAPS, GEOLOGICAL AND TOPOGRAPHICAL MAPS DATED 1860. DOCUMENTS WERE DRAWN ON TRANSPARENT SUPPORT SHOWING: THE CONTOURS OF CUTTINGS AND EMBANKMENTS, THE DIFFERENT NATURE OF QUARTERNARY TERRAINS: IN-SITU SILT, COLLUVIUM AND ALLUVIUM, LIMITS OF THE OUTCROP OF TERTIARY DEPOSITS UNDER QUARTERNARY SOIL. THOSE SUPERIMPOSED DOCUMENTS SHOW THE POSSIBLE TYPICAL SUCCESSION OF SPECIFIC GEOTECHNIC BEHAVIOURS. GEOTECHNICIANS WILL DEFINE THESE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BEHAVIOUR. THE FOLLOWING PHASE OF THE STUDY WILL CONSIST IN DETERMINING HOW MUCH COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATIC DRAWINGS COULD LIGHTEN AND SHORTEN THE WORK NORMALLY UNDERTAKEN MANUALLY.
