After many decades of research, the issue of sample disturbance is still important as regards
to determining reliable and representative soil parameters for foundation design in soft …

This paper is an overview of the mechanical and hydraulic behaviour and properties of
natural soils and soft rocks, from soft clays to chalk. It is based on Critical State Soil …

A database of shear-wave velocity (V s) measurements using a variety of techniques and
soil properties measured on high-quality samples for 28 Norwegian sites has been …

This paper deals with the static lateral load-displacement response (py spring) of a pile slice
in soil. The response is governed by a localised flow-around soil failure mechanism. A …

Full-flow penetrometers (the T-bar and ball) are increasingly used on sites with thick
deposits of soft clays, particularly prevalent offshore. Full-flow penetration tests were …

For the last 40 years, the CPT has played a key role in offshore soil investigations, mainly in
connection with oil and gas development, but also for other purposes. The offshore …

The increasing use of full-flow penetrometers for estimating the undrained and remolded
shear strength as well as soil sensitivity of soft sediments by both industry and researchers …

The consolidation characteristics interpreted with the isotache concept have been studied by
many researchers, including the authors. The aim of most of these studies has been to …

The undrained remolded shear strength of soft clays is of importance in geosystem design,
particularly for offshore structures. Common methods to estimate remolded shear strength …
