Seismic piezocone device (SCPTu) together with Resonant Column and Cyclic Triaxial test apparatus are employed to measure small strain shear modulus (G0) of carbonate sandy and clayey soils of southern coasts of Iran. A large area of southern regions of Iran is formed from clay, silt and sand. In this study, maximum shear modulus that is derived from both field (by seismic piezocone) and labora...

The geotechnical ground investigation involves several testing techniques. Within such techniques, the Piezocone Penetration Test with seismic wave measurements (SCPTu) is one of most popular. This test widely used for in situ soil characterisation given its continuous and repeatability. interpretation results has a strong theoretical background, namely allowing identification profile based on ...

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 ...

The degree of the over-consolidation ratio (OCR) silty clay affects soil’s mechanical properties and in situ test results. present study utilized numerical analysis to investigate behavior cone penetration pore pressure dissipation typical soils, while also taking into account impact (OCR). Effective stress finite-element analyses, which accounted for considerable deformation, were carried out ...
