摘要: |
A significant portion of the San Diego metropolitan area is underlain by overconsolidated clays. The erosion of overburden soils has been the primary mechanism for overconsolidation. A decrease in regional water levels has also contributed to the relatively high levels of overconsolidation observed in several soil formations. Overconsolidated clays within the San Diego area are generally Cretaceous to Pleistocene in age and are characterized by a high expansive potential and low residual shear strength. The current status of geotechnical engineering practice in overconsolidated clays within the San Diego metropolitan area is discussed, particularly as it relates to foundation engineering and slope stability analysis. |
