Mechanical approach for the characterization of loess deposits from the CBR’s Romont quarry (Eben-Emael, Belgium) and correlations with loess stratigraphy
Aeolian silts (loess) are near surface deposits covering about 10% of the continent surfaces . Therefore a good knowledge of their mechanical behavior is an issue for designing subsurface engineering structures. Usually this material is considered as homogeneous for an engineering point of view. Aeolian silt deposits are continuously well developed in Hesbaye Region (Belgium) reaching locally 20m thick (see document in attachment). They are mainly related to the last interglacial (Eemian) and glacial (Weichselian) periods . Nevertheless the pedostratigraphical, chronostratigraphical and paleoc... Mehr ...
