RAPID AND EFFICIENT METHOD OF LOCATING BORROW MATERIAL FOR EARTH STRUCTURES

UN METODO RAPIDO Y EFECTIVO DE INVESTIGAR LOS PRESTAMOS PARA OBRAS DE TIERRAS

The study of borrow material for the construction of earth structures comprises extensive investigations by geologists. The basic principle of the method proposed in this article is the study of classification indices and other soil properties. This method considerably reduces the investments necessary to the study of borrow material and facilitates the interrelation of physical and mechanical indices obtained experimentally. /TRRL/
