Résumé

Les propriétés de déformation de la croûte sèche de terre argileuse ont été examinées en fonction de la teneur d’eau et du degré de compression. Les échantillons étudiés ont été collectés le long de trois lignes pour obtenir différents types de la croûte sèche qui existe en Finlande. L’analyse de régression montre la dépendance des propriétés de déformation des paramètres mentionnés ci-dessus. Quelques mesures ont donné des valeurs aberrantes, car la présente méthode de mesure n’était pas prévue pour des teneurs d’eau si petites.

Abstract

The deformation properties of dry crust clays are studied primarily as functions of water content and compression ratio. The sampling sites have been chosen along three lines in such a manner that different kinds of the dry crust occurring in Finland are represented. Regression analysis shows the connection between the deformation and the parameters mentioned above. The measured values in some instances show rather a large scatter, as the present method of measurement was not designed for so dry samples.
