Microstructural and Tomographic Analyses in Geotechnical Assessment of Soil Media

Abstract

This paper discusses two different approaches to microanalysis of the soil medium. It presents testing results collected by electromicroscopy, which requires special sample preparation, and a non-destructive method, requiring no sample preparation and using a computer-assisted tomograph. The paper presents:
