Abstract [en]
In this paper recently finished and on-going research of strength and deformation properties of Swedish fine-grained sulphide soils is presented. In the paper, some selected test results from the finished project are presented and recommendations are given for determination and evaluation of undrained shear strength of sulphide soils. A short description of the characteristics of the particular type of sulphide soil is also given. The overall purpose of the recently started research project is to improve the possibilities to predict long term settlements of structures founded on sulphide soils.
