The results of the lacustrine deposits of Bogotá showed a high friction angle (close to 45°) and a high plastic index (close to 200). These results are not common in the classic mechanics of soil because the increase of the plastic index causes a decrease of the friction angle (Mitchell, 1993).A possible explanation is that the soil had a high content of diatoms in its …

In diatoms, the cell walls form two thin overlapping shells, which fit together as in a soapbox. The walls are embedded with silica and thus the walls are indestructible. Thus, diatoms have left behind large amount of cell deposits in their habitat; this accumulation over billions of years is referred to as 'diatomaceous earth'.
