Static liquefaction of soils that have a brittle undrained response (hydraulic fills, mine tailings
or sensitive clays) may lead to sudden failures of large consequence. Given the importance …

This paper presents a new interpretation procedure to estimate the initial state parameter
from cone penetration testing (CPTu) in undrained conditions based on the results from a …

The piezocone penetration test (CPTu) is a commonly used method for geotechnical and
environmental engineering site investigation. CPTu dissipation tests, which can be classified …

The paper presents a comprehensive set of simulations of the cone penetration test with
pore pressure measurements (CPTu test) in brittle, potentially liquefiable, soils using …

The application to low plasticity silts of two CPTu-based soil behaviour type charts proposed
by Schneider and co-workers during the last decade is explored. One chart is based on tip …

Using two sets of analytical solutions for CPTU in clays, a suite of theoretically-consistent
geoparameters is shown to be in good agreement with independent laboratory and field test …

Piezocone penetration testing (CPTu) is a well-utilized tool for geotechnical studies by the
mining industry to evaluate the state, strength, and stability of tailings and mine wastes. Of …

Tailings, produced when rock is crushed to recover metals, are normally discharged as
slurry of predominantly silt-sized particles into storage areas that are created using dams …

This paper presents a new interpretation procedure to estimate the initial state parameter
from cone penetration testing (CPTu) in undrained conditions based on the results from a …

This paper presents a piezocone penetration test (CPTu) method for evaluating soil
liquefaction potential. In this approach, the adjusted cyclic stress ratio is calculated with a …
