... strength and may be only locally affected by metasomatic alterations. The research activities focus on a complex geological and geotechnical characterization of the rock mass of interest, which is necessary for further in situ research. This paper briefly describes the main results of the current stage...

..., phytoherm framestone, phytoherm boundstone, phytoclast tufa and intraclast tufa of the Antalya tufa rock mass are the subjects of this study. In order to geotechnically characterize the Antalya tufa rock, numerous laboratory and field tests have been performed. Laboratory testing involved determination...

... of the world. Then, the geological and geotechnical characterization of various geological materials (soil, rocks and aggregates) that will serve as a foundation or that will be utilized in the dam construction site is presented. Since some of these the materials are ripped and then used to build the dam...

... obtained in a study done for the geotechnical characterization of three anisotropic formations present in the Strait of Gibraltar area (Cadiz, Spain), forming part of what is known as Algeciras Unit. They are the following ones: – Micaceous Sandstones and Marls Flysch (Upper Oligocene) it was named...

... Abstract This work discusses the laboratory geotechnical characterization made with rocky materials coming from the Arteara rock avalanche, situated in Gran Canaria island. The study is based on laboratory test obtained for seven different lithotypes. The aim of them is to define strength...

... Abstract The geotechnical characterization of rock masses in Flysch's deposits generates some difficulties due to the alternation of layers of different geomechanical behaviour. This lithological alternation is presented at different scales, from metric to millimetric, being very difficult...
