Specifying the soil types and profiling the subsurface soil layers are the excellent examples of CPTu test potentials. In this research, the capability of CPTu test for specifying subsurface soil layers and classification of sediments in Urmia Lake is investigated. According to previous studies, the sediments of Urmia Lake are commonly fine grained and soft deposits with organic materials. To e...

Cone penetration test is one of the most common in-situ tests for pile analysis given that by its analogy as a model pile, the measured cone resistance and sleeve friction can be employed for estimation of pile unit toe and shaft resistances, respectively. In this paper, group method of data handling (GMDH)-type neural networks optimized using Genetic algorithms (GAs) are used for modelling the...

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...

The correct interpretation of in situ and laboratory test results is an important step the design mining tailing containment structures. This study aims to analyze Seismic Cone Penetration Test (SCPTu) obtained into a reservoir composed two material layers: thick-dry tick-saturated. It possible observe that same reservoir, CPTu can lead classification each layer as different soil with specific ...

Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (CPTu) profile offshore sediments by impact penetration. To exploit their results in full, the measured data are converted to obtain a quasi-static equivalent profile. CPTu conversion requires calibrated correction models. Calibration is currently done using paired (i.e., very close) and dynamic tests. It shown here that test data, which may be inconvenient acquire...
