Abstract:
A common problem across greater Melbourne’s expanding land development, both residential and commercial, is encountering sites that have incredibly stiff and undulating bedrock. This is experienced on sites with Newer Volcanic Basalt which accounts for two thirds of greater Melbourne, the weathered profile of these once lava flows produces a highly variable depth and strength bedrock interface.
