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...

The bearing capacity of screw cast in situ displacement piles is mostly unexplored. There also insufficient research on silty soils. Therefore, five cone penetration tests (CPT) and one piezocone test (CPTu) using direct methods were utilised to determine the load-bearing four Estonia. In addition CPT sounding data, static-dynamic (SDT) results used analyse load-beating piles. Both deterministi...

Piezocone penetration tests with dissipation phases are particularly useful for geotechnical site characterization. They also provide three independent readings with depth from a single sounding as well as time-rate information. In past investigations, only silty sands with specific silt content have been tested and complete sets of tests have not been conducted to evaluate the influence of dif...
