Abstract: Flow liquefaction is a major design issue for large soil structures such as mine tailings impoundments and earth dams. If a soil is strain softening in undrained shear and, hence, susceptible to flow liquefaction, an ...

Abstract: Although the cone penetration test (CPT) and flat-plat dilatometer test (DMT) have been used for over 30 years, relatively little has been published regarding comprehensive correlations between the two in situ tests. This ...

Abstract: Significant developments have taken place over the past 20 years to evaluate the liquefaction potential of soils using in situ tests. The cone penetration test (CPT) is now commonly used to evaluate liquefaction potential ...

Abstract: A method for estimating equivalent Standard Penetration Test (SPT)

Abstract: A new test, called the seismic cone penetration test (SCPT) is described. A small rugged velocity seismometer has been incorporated into an electronic cone penetrometer. The combination of the seismic downhole method and ...

Abstract: A method is proposed for evaluating the overconsolidation ratio in clays based on the distribution of dynamic pore pressure around a penetrating cone. For this purpose the pore-pressure measurements at or on the tip and ...
