Root Cause of Failure
The upper alluvial layer containing gravels has
typical problems of collapse and differential
settlements.
Chemical analysis indicates the clay type to be
“Montmorollonite belonging to Smectite Group”.
Such clays under wet conditions produce substantial
swelling pressure.
The upper layer has high permeability while
underlying
CH layer has much lower permeability.
