Piezocone testing in underconsolidated clay

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1989
This paper describes the results of piezocone testing that was carried out in underconsolidated soft marine clay in Osaka Bay. The obtained profiles of the tip resistance and the pore-water pressure were quite different from those for clay strata of normally consolidated state.

Advances in seismic piezocone testing

2015
ABSTRACT The seismic piezocone penetration test (SCPTu) has been available for over 3 decades now and offers a fantastic means for profiling geostratigraphy and soil engineering properties during routine site investigations. The SCPTu collects as many as 5 independent readings with depth: qt, fs, u2, t50, and Vs.

Pore-Pressure Response of the Piezocone Penetrometer

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1985
Abstract Cone penetrometers have been increasingly used in geotechnical investigations during the past several decades. The cone penetration test is recognized as a reliable, simple, fast, and economical in-situ testing technique. Implementation of pore-pressure transducers inside cone penetrometers to monitor the penetration pore ...

Soil Classification Using Piezocone Soundings

2011
Four existing soil classification methods using piezocone test (uCPT) results have been applied to classify soil strata in Saga, Japan. By comparing with the borehole records, it has been found that Robertson's methods are applicable for clayey soils in Saga.

Miniature Piezocone for Use in Centrifuge Testing

Innovations and Applications in Geotechnical Site Characterization, 2000
A miniature piezocone was developed for use in centrifuge environments, including the piezocone design and fabrication. Several penetration tests were performed in centrifuge soil models encompassing normally consolidated and moderately overconsolidated clays, and medium dense to dense sands.

Development of a quasi-static piezocone apparatus

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1982
The European Symposium on Penetration Testing (ESOPT) held in Stockholm in 1974 has contributed to the improvement of interpretation methods and also to the standardization of the cone penetration test (CPT). In recent years, the importance of the pore pressures generated during cone penetration has led to the development of new sounding equipment to ...

Coefficient of consolidation from piezocone measurements

Géotechnique, 2005
Pore pressure dissipation tests were carried out employing two miniature piezocones, with areas of 1 cm2 and 5 cm2, in a bed of reconstituted kaolin. By using independently determined values of the coefficient of consolidation, the results were interpreted to derive appropriate values of rigidity index for use with the theory of Teh & Houlsby.

Use of Piezocone to Predict Maximum Stiffness of Venetian Soils

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2000
A comprehensive geotechnical in situ and laboratory investigation into the soils forming the Upper Quaternary basin of the Venetian Lagoon has been carried out. In addition to standard tests, measurements of shear wave velocity were performed using crosshole, seismic piezocone, bender element system, and resonant column tests.

Versatile site characterization by seismic piezocone

2005
Site investigations require the collection of geostratigraphic information about the soil layering and consistency, as well as a suite of soil properties and parameters for use in analytical and numerical calculations for design. The seismic piezocone test with dissipation phases (SCPTÙ) offers an optimal means to obtain up to five ...

Piezocone Technology: Downhole Geophysics for the Geoenvironmental Characterization of Soil

Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems 1995, 1995
The electronic cone penetration test with pore pressure measurement, commonly referred to as the piezocone test or CPTU, has been established by the worldwide geotechnical community as the premier stratigraphic logging tool for most soil conditions. Besides stratigraphic information, the piezocone also provides accurate estimates of key geotechnical ...
