Análise das características geotécnicas de um solo residual de diabásio da região de Campinas-SP.

Abstract

In the Campinas-SP region are found a thick layers of porous lateritic clay, in general overlaying a clayey silt stratum originating from a diabasic rock. The water table in general is found over 10m depth. There are always settlement problems in buildings in that region. In this paper are presented geothechnical properties of these soils, obtained from field and laboratorial tests.
