Globally, in arid regions, due to the irrational use of water resources for irrigating plants,
salinization of soils occurs, which causes significant damage to the country's economy. In …

The interpretation of in-situ geotechnical test data needs a unified approach so that soil
parameters are evaluated in a consistent and complementary manner with laboratory …

NCHRP synthesis 368 explores the current practices of departments of transportation
associated with cone penetration testing (CPT). The report examines cone penetrometer …

The injection of large volumes of pressurized water and grout into the subsoil during jet
grouting generates a sudden increase in excess pore water pressure. This study proposes a …

The coefficient of consolidation (ch) of clay interpreted based on piezocone penetration test
(CPTU) usually deviates from the actual values. This can be due to the inherent variability of …

This paper considers centrifuge modelling of free-fall piezocones in soft clay, and interprets
the test data to estimate the undrained shear strength and coefficient of consolidation. Data …

The Engineering of Foundations, Slopes and Retaining Structures rigorously covers the
construction, analysis, and design of shallow and deep foundations, as well as retaining …

Soils are extremely complex four-dimensional (x, y, z, t) materials in their constituent
components, initial stress state, wide-ranging stiffness, strength, flow characteristics, and …

Results from piezocone penetration (CPTu) and flat dilatometer tests (DMT) can be used to
evaluate the stratigraphy, soil types, and a suite of engineering parameters that are needed …

During routine site investigations, high-quality sampling and laboratory testing of sands are
not feasible because of inevitable sample disturbance effects and budgetary constraints …
