Summary

Laboratory processing and evaluation of engineering geological exploration by core drilling has to be coordinated with other exploration methods in conformity with the geological setup of the structure site. Processing requires an understanding of the engineering characteristics of the structures to predict their expected influence.

Processing is reasonably made according to a unified testing programme aiming at the test goal. Thereby results can be compared with earlier or later test results and evaluated uniformly. Based on petrographic, mass distribution, strength and technology model processes, the testing programme embraces all those tests likely to yield results that are indispensable for constructing hydraulic engineering structures.

Résumé

L'étude de laboratoire et évaluation des résultats produits par des essais effectués sur des carottes doivent être conformes à notre connaissance de la structure géologique de l'environnement mais aussi aux propriétés techniques de l'ouvrage d'art en question.

L'étude est toujours basée sur un programme d'essais unifié et élaboré pour le but spécial. Dans ce cas on a la possibilité de confronter les nouveaux résultats acev les anciens et la possibilité d'assurer l'interprétation généralisable.

Le programme d'étude repose sur les essais petrographiques de distribution des densités, de résistance et sur les effects des modèles employés et énumère tous les essais ayant de l'influence sur la construction des ouvrages d'art hydrauliques.
