Abstract
AKASHI formation (Pliocene-Pleistocene) consists of gravel, sand and clay. KOBE group (Miocene) is composed of mudstone, sandstone and conglomerate.
The field loading tests have been done 24 points at 5 locations:
A-Gravellous layers with sand and clay
B-Gravellous layers with sand and clay, less gravel than A
C-Mudstone with nodule
D-Fine grained sandstone
E-Conglomeratic sandstone
Loading plates are four kinds of 37.5, 75, 150 and 300 centimeter in diameter. Available maximum load on the equipment of these tests is about 2, 000 tons.
The results of the loading tests are summarized as the following:
