... routes between a number of major UK cities. Understanding the material properties of the Lias Group is therefore important for infrastructure construction and maintenance across England and Wales. This study examines the influence of weathering on the engineering properties of the Charmouth Mudstone...

The trial cutting and embankment were located at Boddington near Wormleighton, 14 km north of Banbury, England (52° 11′ 14″ N, 1° 20′ 21″ W). Boddington is within a c . 18.2 km-wide outcrop of the Charmouth Mudstone Formation that is crossed...
