... ABSTRACT In the evaluation of the design parameters of weathered granite, as the geotechnical properties of weathered granite are affected by the weathering process, it is important to determine the relationship between the geotechnical properties and the weathering degree. In this study...

... studies on their geotechnical properties. The results indicate that Japanese marine clays contain diatom microfossils and that the existence of diatomite make the geotechnical property of Japanese marine clays very different to that for cohesive soils collected overseas (Tanaka and Locat, 1998). Diatoms...
