The master’s thesis entitled Geological conditions of shallow and deep foundations on a heterogeneous artificial embankment presents field and laboratory research to obtain geomechanical properties of earths, based on which calculations of the load-capacity of foundations for the future object in central Slovenia were performed.
The field research included monitoring of the drilling and recording of 6 boreholes to a depth of 15 m and measuring with a pocket penetrometer and a pocket vane probe and a standard penetration examination. In the field, samples from different depths of the boreholes were taken for laboratory examinations.
With the laboratory examinations we obtained data about the physical and mechanical properties of earths, like density, consistency limits, compressibility and strength.
Based on all the obtained data, we calculated the load-capacity of piles and the foundation plate using different methods and compared them.
