Abstract: The cone penetrometer method is being increasingly used for the determination of the liquid limit of cohesive soils. The same method can be used to determine the plastic limit according to the known relationship between ...

Abstract: The majority of slope failures are triggered by excessive rainfall and the consequent increase in pore-water pressure within the slope. This paper presents the results of a computer code that quantifies earth pressure ...

Abstract: The relationship between the undrained shear strength of fine-grained soils and the water content can be described with a nonlinear function in which the type of soil is determined by two parameters. It is well known that ...
