Physical and mechanical properties of ice-dammed clays in Sochaczew and Radzymin areas in the light of in situ tests
Piotr ZAWRZYKRAJ

The paper presents results of engineering geology studies of ice-dammed clays from Sochaczew and Radzymin areas in Poland. Measurements were performed in situ in Plecewice near Sochaczew and Mokre near Radzymin where open pits of varved clays are localized, and brought an assessment of physical and mechanical parameters of the soil, discussed in the paper. The tests were performed using static probe, Marchetti dilatometer, geoelectrical probe, and field vane tests. Using these instruments, a complex assessment of physical and mechanical parameters of the soil, including, among others, the compressibility modulus, shear resistance, the coefficient of pre-consolidation, and the coefficient of earth pressure at rest was performed. The paper also presents the geological environment of icedammed
clays in the area of Warsaw.

Keywords: varved clays, physical and mechanical properties, dilatometer test (DMT), cone penetration test (CPT), geoelectrical profiling (PE), in situ tests
