Field and laboratory studies concerning the geotechnical characteristics of some natural deposits around the south-Western region of England / Abdelghani Belouar (1984)

Public ISBD Titre : Field and laboratory studies concerning the geotechnical characteristics of some natural deposits around the south-Western region of England Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Abdelghani Belouar, Auteur ; D. A. Cook, Directeur de thèse Editeur : Bath [Royaume-Uni] : University of Bath Année de publication : 1984 Importance : 106 f. Présentation : ill. Format : 30 cm. Note générale : Mémoire de Master : Génie Civil : Bath, University of Bath : 1984 Bibliogr. [12] f Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Alluvial deposits Soil mechanics Slope stability analysis Critical state theory Bishop method Index. décimale : Ms01284 Résumé : This thesis examine aspects of the alluvial deposits in Somerset, and compare some of the properties of the alluvium in relation to existing theories in Soil Mechanics. The geology of the Bristol region includes an unusual variety of deposits. In particular the recent alluvium characterises all aspects of a normally consolidated clay material. The steep valley sides surrounding the City of Bath are well known for the active superficial landslipping and the second chapter therefore is devoted to studies of the better known theories of slope stability. The Bishop method is then applied to a field investigation at the Cliffe hotel, Limpley Stoke, where, as a result of a rapid thaw following heavy snowfall a stability failure occurred in the hotel forecourt on a 16° - 18° slope. Chapter three then presents a summary of Critical State theory originally developed in Cambridge. The Critical state framework is seen to provide a more complete understanding of a basic soil behaviour. The fourth chapter applies Critical State to a set of triaxial tests on undisturbed samples from Shepton Mallet, Somerset, where the overall consistency in the test results suggested that Critical State theory could be reasonably applied. hapters five and six describe the Imperial College stress path cell, together with tests for the determination of the At-Rest coefficient of earth pressure (Ko) and the effective strength parameters on four samples of Somerset alluvium, two other local deposits, and one remoulded London clay. These tests covered a period of six months.
