Assessing soil properties through geotechnical tests is a crucial activity to understand its behaviour. Field tests serve as a good approach to characterize the geotechnical behaviour of materials according to their in-situ condition. However, the interpretation of these tests often [...]Abstract
The Cone Penetration Test (CPTu) can be used to evaluate the soil behaviour and properties through correlations (empirical and/or analytical), and the results must be compared to laboratory tests to be validated. This paper presents the evaluation of the effective friction angle (φ’) [...]Abstract
Geotechnical characterization of site materials is of paramount importance in the construction and mining industry. The analysis of large volumes of geotechnical information from multiple sources leads to data-driven decisions that help to minimize uncertainty. For this purpose, a [...]Abstract
Simulating the CPTu response to changes in the current soil state allows geotechnical engineers to evaluate different scenarios and better predict the structure’s performance. Developed by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Centre Internacional de Mètodes Numèrics en Enginyeria [...]
