Long-Term Processes in Geomaterials. Soil Parameters at Ska-Edeby Test Field
The soil has been subjected to geotechnical investigations, comprising both field and laboratory testing. The subsoil consists of dry crust of approximately 1 m, overlying about 3-5 m of post-glacial clay with water content between 100 and 65%. Below this layer a glacial clay deposit extending to about 10-12 m depth is present, with water content in the range 60-65%. Comprehensive testing of index parameters have been performed, and depth profiles of water content, effective unit weight, and undrained and remoulded shear strength is presented in depth profiles in this report. A number of conventional incremental loaded odometer tests have been interpreted to establish depth profiles of stress-strain related parameters according to the stress resistance concept. Furthermore, three creep tests in odometer have been interpreted by means of the time resistance concept to provide creep parameters. The parameters presented herein established for the purpose of performing prediction of settlements comprising consolidation and long-term creep below embankments situated on deposits of almost normally consolidated, soft clay.
