RB 72/00192 Tarcoola Alice Springs railway. Report on geological investigations for Long Creek and Mabel Creek Crossings - Commonwealth Railways.
Materials at Long Creek crossing site are adequate for bridge foundations. Less favourable conditions at the Mabel Creek crossing site will require spread footings with low bearing pressures. Local materials at both sites are suitable for approach...-
