Subject field(s)
  • Archaeology
  • Restoration of Works of Art (Museums and Heritage)
CONT

A series of waterlogged archaeological sites in the Netherlands were investigated to examine wood degradation by erosion bacteria. Chemical analyses of soil and water at the sites showed a large variation in burial conditions, reflecting differences in sediment composition, salinity, trophic levels, and past burial conditions.

OBS

burial condition: designation usually used in the plural.

Key term(s)
  • burial conditions

French

Domaine(s)
  • Archéologie
  • Restauration d'œuvres d'art (Muséologie et Patrimoine)
CONT

Dans certaines conditions d'enfouissement, les objets peuvent rester dans un état de préservation exceptionnel. Les matériaux organiques [...] se préservent mieux dans un lieu d'enfouissement détrempé, très sec, gelé ou à faible concentration d'oxygène. Dans ces conditions, les matériaux sont protégés de l'activité biologique (par exemple, bactéries, moisissures, insectes, animaux).

OBS

condition d'enfouissement : désignation habituellement utilisée au pluriel.

Specific test standards are not available to measure burial deterioration of geotextiles (many variables are involved), but work is being reported. Sutton et al. examined samples which were in place for up to 12 years. Both mechanical and hydraulic properties were examined and compared to original properties. Losses were generally nominal with maximum losses of 30%. The National Research Council of Canada is testing the effects of burial on fabrics, thereby recognizing that soil is very variable material. ... The test method is designated CGSB 4-GP-2 Method 28.3 ....

OBS

Burial degradation.

OBS

CGSB 4-GP-2 method 28.3 is entitled "Resistance to Micro-organisms--Soil Burial Test".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Résistance des matériaux
  • Textiles techniques
  • Mécanique des sols
OBS

Avant la pose des géotextiles, il faut vérifier que les conditions du sol support correspondent à celles qui ont conduit, entre autres, au choix du produit. [...] ces contrôles sont d'autant plus importants que les géotextiles sont généralement enterrés [...]

OBS

La méthode 28.3, CGSB 4-GP-2 pour épreuves textiles s'intitule «Résistance aux micro-organismes--Essai par enfouissement dans le sol».
