STATISTICAL STUDY OF DISORDERS IN DEEP EXCAVATIONS

ETUDE STATISTIQUE DES DESORDRES DANS LES FOUILLES A GRANDE PROFONDEUR

The decomposition of soil is classified into two types: powdery soil of low cohesion, and slighty powdery cohesive soil. Six statistical curves are proposed which express the percentage between the number of disorders and the number of excavations studied. Some observations of an experimental nature are presented to facilitate the discussion on the shape of the different curves. See IRRD abstract no. 100334. /TRRL/
