Behavior of a Cemented Plastic Clay as an Embankment Foundation

Abstract: A 32 ft (10 m) high embankment has been built at Matagami, Quebec, on a varved clay deposit of the glacial lake Barlow–Ojibway. This paper reports on some aspects considered in the design, mainly the cementation and the high plasticity of the clay. The variation of settlements and pore pressure is presented and indicates that, 8 months after construction, the pore pressure dissipation is very small while the measured settlements reach 18 in. (45 cm).Triaxial tests, with various consolidation times, were carrie… Show more

“…1970; DASCAL ef al., 1972;LEFEBVRE et al, 1974 Les données rassemblées au tableau V résument les caractéristiques physico-chimiques de l'argile d'Olga. Le sédiment, varvé, se trouve à des profondeurs inférieures à 6 m; les couches pâles sont beaucoup plus silteuses et leur teneur en eau d'autant plus faible.…”

“…Asimismo, siguiendo esta hipótesis espacialista, la intensidad de estas interacciones debería depender, en una medida socialmente significativa, de las relaciones de vecindad/distancia entre estos asentamientos porque estas predisponen, a escala local de lo cotidiano, los flujos de circulación y de intercambio de personas, bienes e ideas. Como el espacio es el producto de las prácticas sociales (y por tanto de interacciones entre individuos y colectivos sociales) es necesario ver en la estructura de estos flujos un factor significativo de la conformación territorial de las comunidades aldeanas (Lefebvre 2000(Lefebvre [1974; Levy y Lussault 2003; Snead et al 2009). …”

“…A centralidade se origina da "escassez do espaço", convertido em "raridade", e da tendência de construir centros de decisão que reúnem sobre um território restrito "os elementos constitutivos da sociedade" (LEFEBVRE, 2013(LEFEBVRE, [1974, p. 367). Assim, as centralidades se fazem e se desfazem conforme as necessidades de valorização de determinadas porções do espaço urbano.…”
