Abstract
The paper describes a study of the sedimentology and some engineering parameters related to the geological characteristics of the lake sediments which formed behind a barrier dam in a suburb of Ilan City, north east Taiwan. It is concluded that the variation in engineering parameters is strongly influenced by the proportion of diatoms present.
Resumé
L'article décrit la sédimentologie et définit quelques paramètres géotechniques liés aux caractéristiques géologiques des sédiments lacustres qui se sont déposés derrière un barrage naturel dans un faubourg de la ville d'Ilan, dans le Nord Est de Taiwan. Il apparaît que les variations des caractéristiques dépendent fortement du pourcentage de diatomées dans les sédiments.
