Summary

There are distinct, statistically highly significant correlations between lithogenetic features and physico-mechanical properties of Tertiary decalcification clays /terrae calcis/ occurring in karst depressions in the Jurassic limestone-bedrock from Central Poland. Close dependence of the physical-mechanical properties on lithogenesis, i.e., the basic hypothesis of regional engineering-geological soil sciences, is validated by correlation and factor analyses of properties of the soil studied and may be accepted as theory or even a law.

Correlations Entre Les Caracteres de la Lithogenese et les Proprietes Physiques des Argiles Tertiaires de Decalcification du Centre de la Pologne

Résumé

Au cours des études on a établie des correlations entre les caractéristiques lithogénétiques et les propriétés physiques des argiles de décalcification /terrae calcis/ d’âge tertiaire qui ont été rédeposés dans les dépressions karstiques au bord NE des Montagnes de St. Croix /Pologne Centrale/. En partant de l’analyse de matrice de correlation et de l’analyse factorielle /mode R/ on a établie, que d’hypothèse de géologie de l’ingenieur tel: ”les propriétés physiques et mécaniques des sols sont liées et bien déterminées par lithogénèse des ces sols” est juste et acceptable en tant que la règle genérale.
