Caractérisation multiéchelle du loess de Hesbaye (Belgique) par une approche couplée géologique et géotechnique ; Multiscale characterization of loess in Hesbaye region (Belgium) with a coupled geological and geotechnical approach

A thorough analysis is performed on aeolian silt (loess) deposits. The study is based on an original approach combining geological aspects with physical and mechanical properties of the material. This approach is realized by means of a multiscale experimental analysis in which cone penetration test plays a key role. The approach is applied to the study of loess deposits located in the Hesbaye region (Belgium), in which the site of the Romont quarry (Eben-Emael, Belgium) is the subject of a more comprehensive and a more detailed study. About the stratigraphic aspects, a continuous geological cr... Mehr ...
