Abstract
Athree-dimensional (3D) ground model was developed to design the stabilisation of a dam founded on both weak and liquefiable units up to about 18 m below ground surface. The ground model covers a linear extent of approximately 800 m and was developed from five separate site investigations [...]Abstract
The dilatometer test (DMT) has been shown very useful in providing a number of geotechnical parameters, in different types of soils. The test is regularly carried out every 0.20 m, i.e., it is a discontinuous test. Therefore, its capability of detecting variations in the geotechnical [...]Abstract
The natural structure of clays has a significant influence on its mechanical behaviour and can be characterized using insitu and laboratory tests. It was reported by Robertson (2016) that soil structure leads to an increased tip resistance (qc) and shear wave velocity (Vs) when performing [...]
