Cone penetration tests, a method that is typically used to determine the engineering properties of soils, can be as an effective tool for refined subsurface stratigraphic investigations alluvial and coastal plains, aside from geographic location. High-resolution calibration piezocone tests (CPTU) with 20 sediment cores enabled detailed characterization alluvial, deltaic depositional systems Po ...

Seismic hazard assessment often relies on static piezocone penetration tests (CPTu) to estimate the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) and for evaluation of in situ soil behavior. This article presents CPTu data acquired Kathmandu valley sediments makes use established interpretation procedures assess properties. Up this point predominantly SPT limited shear wave velocity measurements have been reli...

Following the 2012 Emilia-Romagna seismic sequence, widespread liquefaction of silty sands was observed, providing opportunity to enhance our knowledge influence fines content on hazard and mitigation works. This paper presents results a thorough geotechnical investigation performed in connection with full-scale controlled blast tests Bondeno, Italy, small village that suffered 2012. Piezocone ...
