INVESTIGATIONS OF DEEP-SEA SEDIMENT CORES, I. SHEAR STRENGTH, BEARING CAPACITY, AND CONSOLIDATION.

Abstract

The first of three Hydrographic Office reports describes results of an investigation of engineering and mass physical properties of 35 sediment cores collected from Hydrographic Office oceanographic ships in 1958 and 1959. This report discussed the engineering properties of these cores; namely, shear strength, ultimate bearing capacity, and practical aspects of consolidation of sea-floor sediments under applied loads.
