Geology and Geotechnics of Douala and Pointe Noire

By Albert Omgba Emanda

Shaping the ground to construct civil engineering structures has fascinated humankind since time immemorial. Thus, the use of soil from excavation follows well-defined criteria that are closely aligned with the structure's geographic location. Mastering earthwork is not the only aspect to consider; determining a number of parameters of the existing soil is essential. These parameters include the soil's bearing capacity, the settlement associated with it, the presence or absence of settlement at the foundation level, and the nature of the soil at the base of the foundation.
