Geotechnical Properties of Hudson River Silts
Publication: Journal of the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division
Volume 99, Issue 10
Abstract
The Hudson River flows in a deep rock channel along the contact between sedimentary rocks of the Newark series and the Manhattan Metamorphics. The river has been filled with glacial deposits which are overlain by recent deposits of river silts. This note presents the geotechnical properties of these deposits. Geological profiles are presented and boring results are discussed. Based on these results, so-called Hudson River Silts are actually inorganic clays of high plasticity.
