Résumé : |
This text interdisciplinary and is restricted in scope to a discussion of the importance of clay in engineering geology. It is primarily addressed to geologists and mineralogists and to those civil engineers who are concerned with the geotechnical sciences. Its object is to introduce geologists and minealogists to the often unfamiliar terminology and literature of some aspects of soil mechanics and correspondingly to introduce engineers to pertinent information in geology and mineralogy which relates to clay. |
