Engineering-geological model of the Segura River flood plain (SE Spain): a case study for engineering planning

Delgado, J / Alfaro, P / Andreu, J.M / Cuenca, A / Doménech, C / Estévez, A / Soria, J.M / Tomás, R / Yébenes, A

AbstractThis article presents a sedimentological and geotechnical study of the surficial sediments in the Segura River valley (SE Spain). We formulate an engineering-geological model consisting of four zones, each characterized by its geotechnical properties and by various geotechnical problems (namely low bearing capacity, significant ground settlement and liquefaction of sandy sediments). The model quantifies the geotechnical properties and potential problems in each zone. It serves as a useful tool for preliminary geotechnical investigations. The model also enables a better design of field surveys as well as optimal selection of geotechnical investigation techniques for future civil engineering works.
