Abstract: This paper explores the standard penetration test (SPT) hammer-anvil behavior and investigates the effect of secondary impact on SPT energy and sampler penetration. It is observed that the hammer-anvil behavior after the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an analysis of the spatial distribution of the excess pore-water pressure induced by piezocone penetration into overconsolidated clays. From the experimental results obtained for moderately ...

Abstract: In this study, rubber-sand particle mixtures are investigated to understand their stress-deformation and elastic modulus characteristics. Specimens are prepared with various size ratios, sr

Abstract: In this paper, the effects of penetration rate on cone resistance in saturated clayey soils are investigated. Shear strength rate effects in clayey soils are related to two physical processes: the increase of shear strength ...

Abstract: The assessment of the shear stiffness of dredged soft ground and soft clay is extremely difficult due to soil disturbances caused during sampling and field access. Several in situ methods such as spectral analysis of surface ...

Abstract: Resilient-modulus tests were performed on a laboratory compacted dune sand following the standard test procedure described in the 1982

Abstract: Unconfined compressive strength (qucs) and maximum shear modulus (Gmax), which are essential properties of grouted sands for quality control and stable design, exhibit a nonlinear behavior with curing time that makes it ...
