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 ...

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...

Correlations between mapping units of costal sedimentary basin and interpretation of piezocone test results are presented and discussed based on examples from Caravelas strandplain, (State of Bahia), Paranaguá (State of Paraná) and Guarujá bays (State of São Paulo), Brazil. Recognizing that the sedimentary environment was mainly controlled by sea level fluctuations led to the interpretation of ...

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...

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 ...

ABSTRACT: Although the piezocone penetration test (PCPT) has several advantages over traditional methods of sampling and laboratory analysis in determining representative properties of a soil deposit, the existing methods used to infer soil properties from PCPT data are not always reliable due to the complexity of cone penetration. In this study, it is proposed that the process of “data fusion”...

Silt sediments are frequently encountered in the coastal areas of the North Sea. Evaluation of the silt behaviour must ideally rely on in-situ tests, in particular the piezocone test. However, interpretation of piezocone data in silt sediments is problematic and derived parameters can seem to differ significantly from those obtained by investigating intact samples in the triaxial apparatus. Use...
