Sažetak
Clays and other materials containing clay minerals are ubiquitous and they are routinely encountered in many engineering projects. Theyarefoundinnaturallyoccurringclay layers, in mining and dredging operations, in the ceramic industry and in all other activities that involve earth materials. In all these instances the engineering properties of clays should be known in order to predict the behavior of the material and to quantify its response to various loading conditions. Deformation, hydraulic conductivity and strength characteristics are the essential properties and must be determined with a reasonable level of certainty. Theydependontheclayconsistencyandcannotbeconsidered invariable for a material. Thepaperdiscussestesting methods used to determine these characteristics and investigates the range of values encountered in various projects. Theexamplesofprojectsinwhichtheengineering properties are used to predict the fieldbehaviorinclude mine waste disposal, dredging operations, deep sea foundation anchors and the manufacturing process in the ceramic industry. In all instances the critical element for a reliable prediction of the fieldbehaviorwasthedetermination of the engineering properties of clays.
