DETERMINATION OF THE GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOILS OF AIN TEMOUCHENT (NORTH WESTERN-ALGERIA)
DETERMINATION OF THE GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOILS OF AIN TEMOUCHENT (NORTH WESTERN-ALGERIA)
The geotechnical characteristics of the soils of Ain Temouchent are divided into ten groups. Eight of them according to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS): CH (High plasticity clay), CL (Low plasticity clay), MH (High plasticity silt), ML (Low plasticity silt), SC (clayey sand), SM (Silty sand), GM (Silty gravel with sand), OH (organic soil of high plasticity). The other two groups are rocky soils: basalt (hard volcanic rock with high resistance), and limestone tuff (sedimentary rock)
