In geotechnical engineering, in-situ tests, like standard penetration test (SPT) and cone (CPT), are essential to evaluate the underground conditions. SPT is a frequently used approach, while CPT considered one of best exploration apparatuses. However, there demand for correlation SPT-CPT that can be in design. This research aimed find relationships between test’s blow count (N) tip resistance ...

The city of Portoviejo in coastal Ecuador was severely affected during the 16 April 2016, Pedernales earthquake (Mw 7.8). Various coseismic liquefaction phenomena occurred, inducing lateral spreading, sand boils, ground subsidence, and sinkholes soils with poor geotechnical quality alluvial alluvial–colluvial sedimentary environment. Therefore, main aim this study to collect data from standard ...

Shallow foundations are very distinctive in Bhutan since construction of buildings regulated to 7-8 story and the superstructure loads not high compared high-rise elsewhere. However, safety depends primarily on stability subsoil. This can be evaluated by estimating Ultimate Bearing Capacity (UBC) it is measure subsoil strength. In current study, field test such as Plate Load Test (PLT) Standard...

The aim of this study is to analyze and model the geotechnical characteristics soils in Erbil city using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). used GIS properties by collecting data from 102 boreholes three different depth levels (1.5 m–3.5 m, 3.5 m–6.5 m 6.5 m–9.5 m) visualize soil such as fines content, moisture plasticity, shear strength parameters, compress...

The standard penetration test (SPT) is a widely used in situ method worldwide that can evaluate soil properties based on the blow counts (N-value). N-value depends properties, and energy transferred to drill pipe during hammering. Currently, European American scholars generally believe variation amount of hammer transmitted due different types drop systems primary factor leads variations N-valu...

Abstract The foundation is the part of a building that rests on ground. net safe bearing capacity ( q ns ) significant factor in design. There are several ways published previous studies to determine capacity, however choosing best method governs stability structure when it loaded beyond its capacity. emphasis this concern investigated and presented paper by comparing shallow foundations determ...
