A study of the factors which govern the compressibility of chalk
Chalk is a weak rock that occurs extensively in the UK. The mechanisms which control the mass compressibility of chalk are not fully understood and hence current foundation design practice favours a conservative, and therefore costly, approach. This research aimed to investigate the factors which co...
