Abstract
This paper presents the main findings of an integrated study
carried out at the Kastrup peninsula reclamation site by
Department of Geology and Geotechnical Engineering at the
Technical University of Denmark. The purpose of the study was to
evaluate homogeneity and engineering properties of dredged
limestone fill that is pumped ito ponds of the reclamation site.
The work utilised a number of geophysical and geotechnical
investigation techniques in the field, supplemented with
laboratory testing.The study of in-situ electrical resistivities
revealed larger variations in the ground conditions than were
expected on the basis of information available from borehole
logs.Ground deformation moduli were evaluated within an area
planned for a maintenance centre by DSBmateriel using the
continuous surface wave method, in conjunction with retrospective
forward modelling. deformation properties calculated from these
tests have been compared with those obtained by the Danish
Geotechnical Institute from a combined falling weight compaction
and plate loading test. Taking into account that the surface wave
test measures properties at very small strain levels
