The cone penetration test-based simplified liquefaction triggering evaluations are largely based on linking manifestations in the field to resistance. These relationships interpreted such a way that for given resistance, resistance increases as non-plastic fines content (FC) increases. However, several studies have indicated discrepancies this relationship. Hence, there is lag rational scientif...

This study presented a framework for uncertainty analysis of the ultimate axial bearing capacity piles evaluated by UniCone method in layered soils. The Eslami and Fellenius (1997) is direct piezocone penetration test (CPTU) evaluating reliability design. spatial variability CPTU data modeled as random field each soil unit strata. empirical correlation coefficients are assumed to follow lognorm...

Engineers often want to estimate profiles of soil permeability (hydraulic conductivity) as part of the site characterization process. Several methods have been proposed to estimate the coefficient of permeability (k) using CPT results. These methods are generally based on two approaches: (1) estimated soil type and (2) rate of dissipation during a CPTu dissipation test. This paper presents upda...
