PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING GEOLOGY STUDY GLENMONT ROUTE SECTIONS B 009, B 010 AND B 011, WASHINGTON, D.C. METRO SYSTEM

The study comprises a preliminary engineering geology evaluation of sections of Glenmont Route generally following Georgia Avenue from Silver Spring to Glenmont of the Washington Metropolitan Area Metro System. It is based chiefly on 35 deep test borings made in 1973 and 1974 but includes the results of an extensive mapping of outcrops, study of aerial photography, examination of rock cores, rock compression tests and petrographic analyses. Results are presented in the form of geological sections, maps of lithological features, tables summarizing data and core photographs.
