Abstract: A direct axisymmetric cone-penetration model developed for use with a user-written implementation of the MIT-S1 constitutive model is presented. The penetration model uses a finite-difference program with an Arbitrary ...

Abstract: Field trials of microbially induced desaturation (MID) were conducted at two sites in Portland, Oregon underlain by liquefiable fine-grained soils. MID is an emerging method for mitigating the potential for triggering ...

Abstract: With the recent advances in the biogeotechnics field and specifically microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP), cone penetration testing (CPT) has become a valuable tool to overcome the challenges associated with ...

Abstract: Mechanistic approaches to developing cone penetration test-based liquefaction triggering correlations are presented and evaluated with an application to Ottawa sand. The mechanistic approaches utilize combinations of data ...
