- W2085286218 abstract "Geotechnical engineering typically involves the prediction of performance of foundations or earth structures. The basic tools of the geotechnical engineer are the engineering properties of the soil (strength, deformability, compressibility and permeability) and theoretical predictive models. However, problems or geotechnical features which require more detailed information beyond the fundamental engineering properties of the soil are often encountered. Deficiencies in the traditional engineering approach are not usually related to inadequate theory but rather to an inadequate understanding of the soil properties. Examples include collapsing soils, highly plastic overconsolidated clays, anisotropic soils, soft clays and locked sands. Knowledge of the clay mineralogy and fabric can help in developing a better understanding of soil behaviour. Three case histories are examined wherein unusual soil performance or engineering properties were encountered. The clay mineralogy and fabric are examined for each case. The first case involves an embankment failure on glacial Lake Edmonton clay. The clay is highly plastic and shows a pronounced secondary structure that controls mass strength. The second case is a clay from the Beaufort Sea. It has the unusual characteristic of the horizontal stress being up to twice the vertical stress. The third case deals with a clayey silt with which a serious foundation problem was experienced at the University of Calgary library during construction. In addition, two other unusual soils are examined. One is from a stratum of soil located under a large retaining wall in Banff National Park. The second is collapsing soil from Kamloops, B.C." @default.
