Engineering properties of old alluvium for Changi extension line project in Singapore

Old Alluvium is one of the main geological formations in Singapore. Three types of soils strata: Fill, Kallang Formation and Old Alluvium were encountered along the Changi Extension Line (CEL) project in Singapore. The Old Alluvium Formation comprises a sequence of very weak to weak quartzo-feldspat...
