Corporate name Rijkswaterstaat Project TAW/ENW Date 1996-05-01 Abstract The current report is a Technical Report in which the results of various studies are brought together and placed in some sort of logical context. The aim of the report is to give insight into the properties of clay that are important for dike construction and to give direction to an unequivocal evaluation of clay. Based on the functions to be fulfilled and the material properties, requirements have been adjusted and recommendations are made for the use of clay in dikes. This report is primarily intended for directly involved technicians in the designing and managing of dikes. In addition, we have attempted to provide insight and information for interested but non-technical people about the problems of applying clay in dikes. This report is not intended as a scientific work in which a theoretical basis is exhaustively discussed. For this the reader is referred to the research reports that formed the basis for the current report (see References). This report is the so-called 'green' version. It should be noted that there are still currently various calculation rules missing to be able to accurately quantify the strength of the clay. Therefore, we have worked to provide practical recommendations, in which for most cases a responsible design and management can be established.
