Abstract
Resumo: Neste trabalho, são apresentados os resultados de estudos conducentes a uma caracterização geotécnica da faixa de terrenos pelíticos, tanto in situ como alterados e/ou deslocados, que preenchem o fundo do vale diapírico de Sesimbra. Estes materiais, datados do Hetangiano, estão ainda pouco estudados, pelo menos neste local, devido ao facto dos mesmos não terem interessado até ao presente obras de certo relevo, não justificando assim, na óptica dos promotores públicos ou privados, estudos geotécnicos apropriados. Neste sentido, os autores pretendem contribuir para um melhor conhecimento das características físicas e mecânicas destes terrenos. Assim, são apresentados alguns resultados preliminares de uma programa mais vasto, tendo-se efectuado ensaios laboratoriais em amostras recolhidas no referido vale, designadamente identificação, caracterização física e consolidação.
Abstract: In this work, some test results from both in situ and weathered or displaced soil samples,obtained in the diapiric valley of Sesimbra are present. These Hetangian aged materials have not been yet sufficiently studied in the physical and mechanical point of view because, until the present days, very few large constructions have been carried out inside those structural valleys, which means that there are no adequate geotechnical studies of these areas. Therefore, the authors intend to contribute for a better knowledge of the physical and mechanical properties of these soils. Thus, a testing program was performed on samples collected in that diapiric valley,including identification, physical characterization and oedometer tests.
