ELASTIC CHARACTERISTICS AND DISPERSION OF PEAT AND MUD SOILS

UPRUGIE I DISSIPATIVNYE SVOJSTVA TORFOV I ORRGANICHESKIKH ILOV

Details are given of laboratory and in-situ studies of peat and mud deposits subjected or not to loading by means of embankments. The seismic and dynamic test methods used are described, and correlations are established between physical, dynamic and other soil characteristics. (TRRL)
