Comparative analysis of soils according to grain-size distribution, physical state and geotechnical investigation methods

摘要

The Soviet standard GOST is still use in Lithuania. However, now the usage of the earlier investigation data obtained according the GOST classification and testing methods becomes a problem. New soil classification system has been introduced in Lithuania to replace the Soviet classification and testing methods, which do not correspond to real engineering geological conditions. Having in mind the above statements, the comparative analysis has been done at the Department of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology of Vilnius University.
