Characteristics of geotechnical properties of the late pleistocene - holocene sediments at Cao Lanh - Dong Thap province

Abstract

Sediments of the Mekong Delta in general and Cao Lanh-Dong Thap in particular is quite complex, including multiple units of different sedimentary petrography. The units have different mechanical and physical properties therefore they affect the stability of the above structures. This paper discusses about the sedimentary structure, the mechanical properties, stress, loading capacity, deformation and time-deformation of the structures with different loads.
