Mapeamento geotécnico da formação Rosário do Sul na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre

Abstract

The objective of the mapping of Rosário do Sul Formation, typical of the Great Porto Alegre region, is to characterize geotechnically soils and rocks of these sedimentary beds. This study refers to the lithology, spacial distribution, presence of residual soils, laboratory testing and behaviour relative to geotechnical applications. These latter consist of geotechnical information necessary to urban planning, particularly with regard to city expansion.
