Using Penetrometers to Measure Sea Bed Properties
نویسنده
چکیده
The principal objective of this work has been to develop a set of mechanical, remote-sensing tools that will permit the determination of the main geotechnical variables that control mine burial in the bottom. These variables include the shear strength of both soft, fine-grained sediments and coarser, dilative granular sediments. A further objective is to understand better the response of typical near-shore deposits composed of layered fine and coarse sediment.

متن کاملPercussive Dynamic Cone Penetrometer for Geotechnical Surface Assessment with a Planetary
Introduction: During the past planetary surface missions, few instruments have been deployed to directly assess soil physical properties like density, soil strength (internal friction and cohesion), and pressure/sinkage curves, or their spatial variation. Several Soviet lunar missions were equipped with small cone vane penetrometers, and the Apollo astronauts also used two different manual pene...
متن کاملInterpreting in situ pressure and hydraulic properties with borehole penetrometers in ocean drilling: DVTPP and Piezoprobe deployments at southern Hydrate Ridge, offshore Oregon
[1] Two borehole penetrometers, Fugro-McClelland’s Piezoprobe and the Ocean Drilling Program’s (ODP) DVTPP, were deployed 50 m below seafloor at Site 1244 on ODP Leg 204 to measure formation pressure at southern Hydrate Ridge, offshore Oregon. Pore pressure is interpreted to be hydrostatic and the sediment’s coefficient of consolidation is interpreted to lie between 6.92 and 7.8 10 7 m/s, which...
متن کاملA New Method for Comparing and Matching Snow Profiles, Application for Profiles Measured by Penetrometers
Hardness has long been recognized as a good predictor of snow mechanical properties and therefore as an indicator of snowpack stability at the measured point. Portable digital penetrometers enable the amassing of a large number of snow stratigraphic hardness profiles. Numerous probings can be performed to assess the snowpack spatial variability and to compensate for measurement errors. On a dec...
متن کاملImproving Petrophysical Interpretation of Conventional Log by Determination of Real Bed Boundaries
Proper determination of bed boundaries in layered reservoirs is vital for accurate petrophysical interpretation of conventional logs. In the wellbore, logs continuously measure physical properties of reservoir while the properties change stepwise. This continuous representation of logs may lead to ignorance of some high potential reservoir zones. The main reasons for continuous nature of l...
