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
The evaluation of in-situ behaviour, strength and compressibility of a soil profile is routinely performed by geotechnical engineers through field tests, such as the seismic piezocone penetration test (SCPTu), the flat dilatometer test (DMT) and the field vane shear test (FVT). This [...]Abstract
Self-boring pressuremeter (SBPM) tests are widely used in site investigations, due to their distinct advantage to measure the shear stress-strain-strength properties of the surounding soil with minimum disturbance. The measured pressuremeter curve can be interpreted using analytical [...]
