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. The electrical cone represents a significant step forward for

This paper discusses several proposed methods for estimating undrained shear strength from cone penetration tests. This correlation has been studied in the past, however, most have focussed only on the cone bearing. In addition to discussing these traditional methods, this paper evaluates recently proposed methods of estimating Su from CPT pore pressure data. The results of field vane and cone penetration tests from five lower mainland sites are presented in relation to the different proposed correlation techniques. The results show that there is no unique cone factor for estimating Su from C

Abstract:

As one of the most versatile and reliable in-situ devices, cone penetrometers have been extensively used in soil exploration (e.g. soil classification, soil profiling, back-calculation of soil properties etc.) both experimentally and theoretically over the past 80 years. To improve its site accessibility, reduce the required sample size with minimal boundary effects, or model soil penetration by plant roots or earthworms, cone penetrometers with various sizes are often employed both in the field and laboratory. Consequently, size-dependent performance may appear, and this is one of the subject

Liquefaction ls a phenomenon where a saturated soil can temporarily lose its shear strength during an earthquake as a result of the development of excess pore pressures. For the past 25 years since Iiquefaction phenomenon was first explained, it was thought to be mainly a problem with clean sand, and most of the research has focused on these soils. However, as case history information has come to light, it has become apparent that silty sands are commonly involved, and in some cases even silts.

Lime-cement columns have been used in Sweden to improve poor soil conditions since the 1970’s. The method is inexpensive and flexible, but is difficult to test since the columns are manufactured in-situ. Many test-methods have been developed for testing the column strength during the years. Most of them need to be evaluated using an empirical correction-factor known as the cone factor. The column penetration test, KPS, is the most commonly used method in Sweden, it is considered to be reliable since a large part of the column cross-section is tested. The problem is that the probe easily deviat

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

Numerical modeling using finite element method (FEM) is well-recognized as a powerful method for both engineers and researchers to solve boundary value problems.

Besides, infinitesimal small soil deformation is usually assumed. The simulation is further complicated when the soil-structure interaction problems involve signif

These methods have various levels of predictive success, which usually depends upon the soil conditions, pile geometry, pile installation method, and time between installations and loading. An im
