Abstract: This study explores in situ small-strain shear modulus in low-density structured chalk, a key input parameter in empirical and numerical models. A range of in situ testing procedures, supported by detailed core logging, ...

Abstract: Accurate quantification of the shear-wave velocity, Vs, and thus the small-strain shear modulus, G0, is a critical geotechnical design task. Recent research has demonstrated the high level of complexity and uncertainty ...

Abstract: Pile drivability predictions require information on the pile geometry, impact hammer, and the soil resistance to driving (SRD). Current SRD prediction methods are based on databases of long slender piles from the oil and ...
