Determination of the suction compression index, Ch, is necessary for predicting expansive soil heave based on soil suction. The CLOD Test is a convenient laboratory procedure for determining Ch, however it is not widely used. Rather, engineers often rely upon empirical correlations to find Ch. A laboratory investigation was conducted to verify previously established empirical relationships. The...

Ngempon Temple is one of the historical sites around Mount Ungaran area. result Hindu civilization in Indonesia which was built VIII-IX century. This research conducted area because it necessary to conserve associated with geological study aims determine aspects that have potential become geotourism The methods used are mapping for field data collection and petrographic analysis rock characteri...

Pre-compacted MX80 bentonite/Callovo-Oxfordian (COx) claystone mixture has been considered as a promising sealing/backfilling material in deep geological repository for high-level radioactive waste France. When the pre-compacted blocks are emplaced gallery, technological voids can remain. After infiltration of groundwater from host rock, they will swell freely, filling voids, and then undergo f...

Significant interest has been devoted to claystones and shales in the context of geological radioactive waste disposal at great depth. The determination their mechanical properties is needed for appropriate design underground galleries tunnels. Given high sensitivity changes water content, special care be taken so as provide characteristics close possible (saturated) insitu ones. Based on hydro...

The paper presents the results of laboratory studies on strength–strain properties shales representing four siltstone-claystone lithostratigraphic units occurring in Baltic Basin. Laboratory a triaxial stress state were conducted as single failure tests cylindrical samples oriented parallel and perpendicular to lamination within rocks. Mutually cut out from same drill core sections order determ...

Resistivity is a determinant of the type rock and electrical properties or water-carrying layer. Primary data main source for investigation subsurface with Vertical Electric Sounding (VES) method. The purpose study to determine resistivity geological conditions detect aquifer reservoir lithology types designed as planned wells. geoelectric point was carried out on many 10 (ten) points produced ...
