Abstract

A large part of the city of Dublin it is underlain by a glacial deposit known as Dublin boulder clay (DBC). In engineering terms this lodgement till is characterised as being very dense / hard, of very high stiffness and of low permeability. The use of “Geobore S” rotary coring and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) shear wave velocity profiling has improved our ability over recent years to adequately characterise this material. The main objective of this work was to explore the link between high quality laboratory strength tests on Geobore-S cores and MASW derived shear wave velocity measurements of Dublin boulder clay. A reasonably clear relationship was observed between these tests for three boulder clay sites.
