A CPTU-Based Prediction Method for Undrained Shear Strength With Quantified Uncertainty
Advances in Civil EngineeringThe engineering properties of seabed soils are crucial to the foundation design of offshore structures. Among them, the undrained shear strength (su) is a key parameter for evaluating the shear failure resistance of saturated cohesive soils.

Dominant factors in MiniCone, CPT and pile correlations: A data‐based approach
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 346-358, December 2023., 2023 Using a database comprising MiniCone and cone penetration test (CPT) records in the field and physical modeling with a variety of cone diameters, case study records have been obtained from 140 tests compiled from data from 26 sources. The sources include the results of 20 physical modelings and field data from six sites in 10 countries.

A GIS framework for prediction of basin‐wide post‐failure geometry of confined subaqueous landslides
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 47, Issue 13, Page 2405-2437, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Stability analysis of submarine and sub‐lacustrine slopes requires special attention to the strain‐softening nature of clay‐rich sediments. Utilizing the often‐used infinite slope assumption using the peak strength is inadequate for the task at hand as the well‐known limit equilibrium method may provide non‐conservative estimate of marine ...

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 16, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023 Abstract This article discusses the levee failure that occurred on 6 December 2020 at Castelfranco Emilia, near Modena (Italy), showing that it cannot be explained without assuming the presence of local heterogeneities or a small cavity. The possible presence of these defects is supported by evidence derived from historical data and site observations ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 9, 16 May 2023., 2023 Abstract Landslides in sensitive post‐glacial marine clays are one of the major geological hazards in Canada, Norway and Sweden. Current hydrogeological conceptual models used for slope stability analyses in these deposits consider simple groundwater flow conditions within a homogenous, isotropic, massive clay deposits, where fractures are surficial ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 310-334, February 2023., 2023 A novel probabilistic methodology for regional seismic site characterization is proposed and applied to a region with highly heterogeneous surficial geology and varying soil sediment thickness and stiffness. The method combines various sources of geological and geotechnical uncertainties to develop a three‐dimensional (3D) shear‐wave velocity (Vs ...
