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...

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 ...

The paper presents a comprehensive set of simulations the cone penetration test with pore pressure measurements (CPTu test) in brittle, potentially liquefiable, soils using advanced numerical techniques. large displacements and deformations involved problem are tackled Particle Finite Element Method, especially adapted for analysis coupled geotechnical problems (G-PFEM). A non-local regularizat...

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...

In order to quantify the P- and S-wave velocities, dynamic elastic moduli bearing capacity of shallow alluvial sediments, seismic refraction cone penetration test (CPTu) soundings were carr...

Piezocone penetration test device imported from the Netherlands was used to conduct pore pressure dissipation tests at 4 measuring points in 2 holes water area of Sutong GIL utility tunnel project. After dissipation, stable analyse groundwater and further obtain height head. This method provides a successful solution for in-situ stratification testing parameters engineering, reliable hydrologic...
