Sand soils of Lithuanian coastal area and their geotechnical properties
Kastytis DUNDULIS, Saulius GADEIKIS, Sonata GADEIKYTĖ, Vytautas RAČKAUSKAS

Sand soils form the upper part of the geological cross-section of the Lithuanian coast. Theses soils are the basis for building construction. The major part of the Lithuanian Baltic Sea coastal area of consists of sands of different genesis and age; besides, they include a wide interval of grain size distribution from gravelly to silty sands. A large part of the geological cross-section is formed from sand soils with organic matter. During the research, the index values of the physical mechanical properties of the soils were evaluated and summarized; the main factors predetermining the mechanical behavior of sands were determined.

Keywords: sand, geotechnical properties, coastal area, Lithuania
