Abstract
During reclamation projects huge amounts of sands are dredged and placed to create artificial land. To increase the density and therefore to mitigate the potential risk of liquefaction as well as to increase the stiffness and internal friction angle of the sand, it is often necessary [...]Abstract
This paper is an extension of our previous research investigating the potential of machine learning models to estimate shear wave velocity (Vs) from piezocone penetration test (CPTu) measurements. The aim of this update is to examine the effect of incorporating geographical information, [...]Abstract
Accurate quantification of the shear wave velocity, Vs, of geo-materials is an important consideration in geotechnical design. Seismic Cone Penetration Testing (SCPT) measures shear wave travel times from a source to in situ receivers along assumed travel paths to calculate Vs. Despite [...]Abstract
This paper quantifies the influence of seismic Cone Penetration Test (sCPT) interpretation and processing methods on shear wave velocity (VS) profile uncertainty using data from 20 sites in Christchurch, New Zealand. The near-surface soil profiles varied across the sites, both in [...]
