Design of foundations in Singapore bouldery clay and the influence of boulders on soil properties
The bouldery clay in Singapore is a stiff to hard landslide material with randomly distributed sandstone boulders. The soil matrix consists of silty and sandy clay and the shape and the size of the strong sandstone boulders vary. Also, the weathering of the sandstone boulders varies. The depth of th...
