Abstract:

Inom geotekniken behövs ofta jordlagerföljden och jordens egenskaper bedömmas. För att göra detta används ofta sonderingsmetoden Cone Penetration Test (CPT), som används främst till att ge en preliminär bedömning av jordlagerföljden och en uppskattning av geotekniska egenskaper. CPT-sondering är en avancerad metod som ställer högre krav på både fältgeotekniker och handläggande geotekniker jämfört med andra metoder och är en metod där många faktorer påverkar resultatet. Detta examensarbete undersöker vilka faktorer som påverkar CPT-sondering med fokus på utrustning och handhavandet hos teknikko

Abstract:

Due to lack of soil sampling during a conventional cone penetration testing (CPT), it is necessary to classify soils based on recorded tip and sleeve friction and pore pressure (if available) values. However, currently available soil classification models are based on deterministic and judgemental determination of soil classification boundaries which do not address the uncertainties intristic to the problem. Moreover, size and quality of databases used in the development of these soil classification models are undocumented and thus questionable. Similar limitations do also exist in the develop

Abstract:

Failure of tailings dams can occur due to liquefaction of saturated and loosely deposited silt and sand sized tailings under both seismic and static conditions. The consequences in terms of loss of lives and property are severe. As tailings possess soil-like structure and grain size distribution, it is possible to use ground improvement measures typically used for soils to improve the stability of these dams. It is also possible to use densification techniques to reduce the volume of the in-place tailings to provide greater storage space. This thesis reviews the assessment of ground densifica

Abstract:

This study set out to examine the effectiveness and reliability of six modifications to the Zhang et al. (2004) CPT-based lateral spread model. A regression analysis, distribution charts, and a discriminant analysis are performed to determine how effective the modifications are on the model. From the comparisons and statistical analysis performed in this study, application of these modifications reduces over-predictions from strain-based prediction methods. Unfortunately, the tendency to under-predict displacements on average is also increased.

Abstract:

The knowledge about the shear strength of a soil is important because it is a key parameter that is used in many calculations in construction engineering. Some examples of what’s possible to calculate are slope stability, the soil pressure against retaining walls and the carrying capacity of building foundations. Great economic losses or, in the worst case scenario the risk for human lives, could be the result if the geotechnical properties of the soil are ignored. This report considers the undrained shear strength of clay from Uppsala. There are different methods based on empirical experience

Portrycket är en viktig parameter för att bestämma jordens egenskaper, såsom dränering, permeabilitet och stabilitet (då portrycket har en påverkan på den effektiva spänningen i jorden).

Fördelar med ett dissipationstest jämfört med traditionell portrycksmätning skulle vara att det skulle spara tid och pengar, då man slipper trycka ner portrycksmätare och sedan vänta på att få portrycket ifrån dem, istället kan portrycket mätas under sondering med CPT.Detta själv

Cone penetration test (CPT) is a fast and reliable site investigation tool for exploring soils and soft ground. While the interpretation of the test results in clay has advanced considerably from a theoretical and numerical viewpoint that of tests in sands still relies largely on empirical correlations. A major source of such correlations comes from tests done in calibration chambers (CC), where soil state and properties might be tightly controlled. Calibration chambers are relatively large pieces of equipment, and calibration chamber testing is expensive and time consuming. Moreover, CC tests

Abstract:

The quasi-static penetration of a cone penetrometer into clay can be formulated as a steady state problem by considering a steady flow of soil past a stationary cone. The soil velocities are estimated from the flow field of an inviscid fluid, and the incompressibility condition is achieved by adopting a stream function formulation. Emphasis is placed on obtaining an accurate velocity estimate and this is accomplished by a solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. The strain rates are evaluated from the flow field using a finite difference scheme. The clay is modelled as a homogeneous incompress

Abstract:

The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) was developed originally in Holland in the 1930’s as a device which provides a small scale model of a pile foundation. Early versions were simple cone points for which the only measurement was the thrust required to push the point through the ground. Over the past 20 years, the cone was standardized to a tip area of 10 cm², and an electrical version was produced, which allows for continuous measurement of the cone tip resistance and sleeve friction along with a computer-based data acquisition system.

Abstract:

Dredging activities at Ports and Harbors are inevitable for the safe navigation of ships and vessels. Dredged material may range from very fine and contaminated sediments to sand and gravels. While, granular dredged material can be directly utilized in civil engineering applications, fine sediments may require further treatment before use. In geotechnical context, fine sediments are characterized by low shear strength and high compressibility. However, these unfavorable properties do not rule out the suitability of these fine dredged sediments for use in geotechnical construction, such as, roa

Abstract:

The static cone penetration tests are quite extensively used for carrying out in-situ geotechnical investigations both for onshore and offshore sites especially where the soil mass is expected to comprise of either soft to medium stiff clays or loose to medium dense sands. The wide use of the cone penetration tests (CPT) in geotechnical engineering has resulted in a great demand for developing necessary correlations between the cone penetration resistance and different engineering properties of soils. The successful interpretation of the cone penetration test data depends mainly on the various

Abstract:

Site characterization is an important task in Geotechnical Engineering. In situ tests based on standard penetration test (SPT), cone penetration test (CPT) and shear wave velocity survey are popular among geotechnical engineers. Site characterization using any of these properties based on finite number of in-situ test data is an imperative task in probabilistic site characterization. These methods have been used to design future soil sampling programs for the site and to specify the soil stratification. It is never possible to know the geotechnical properties at every location beneath an actua

As a penetrometer is penetrating into the soils, the acoustic emissions are generated by soil grains sliding and rolling over the penetrometer, sliding and rolling over one another and being rushed. The major purpose of this paper is to improve the technique of site investigation.This research includes the development of measuring system

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>土木工程學系研究所<br>85<br>Abstract Because of the lack of cohesion, it is very difficult to obtain undisturbe dsamples for sand. In situ tests are often used to determine the engineering properties of sand. The cone penetration test (CPT) is a popular in situ test method. As in many other types of in situ test methods, the interpretation of CPT data is mostly empirical. These empirical interpretation rules are mostly developed based on chamber calibration tests in the laboratory, and

碩士<br>國立中央大學<br>土木工程學系<br>86<br>Soil classification and profiling are the major applications of in-situ cone penetration tests (CPT). Generally, using an electrical piezocone, the tip resistance (qc), sleeve friction (fs), and pore pressure (u) can be logged continuously with depth during the test .With certain interpretations, profile of a site and soil type of each layer are characterized. Since cone resistance responds to soil changes within 5 to 10 tip diameters above and below the cone
