Pore pressures induced by piezocone penetration [PDF]
The excess pore-water pressures (u) induced by piezocone penetration and their dissipation around the cone have been investigated by laboratory model tests and theoretical–numerical analyses. Based on the test results, a method for predicting cone penetration–induced distribution of u has been proposed.

Investigation into the effect of uncertainty of CPT-based soil type estimation on the accuracy of CPT-based pile bearing capacity analysis [PDF]
Cone Penetration Test (CPT or CPTu) is commonly used for estimating soil types and also for the geotechnical design of pile foundation. However, the level of agreement between the CPT-based soil types and the traditional identification of soil types ...

MPM simulations of the impact of fast landslides on retaining dams [PDF]
Possible protection systems against flow-like landslides are earth dams built to stop or deviate the flow. The evaluation of impact forces on the structures is still based on oversimplified empirical approaches, which may lead to a very conservative ...

Undrained shear strength from piezocone tests
With the advent of piezocones — penetrometers measuring both the mechanical resistance and induced pore pressures near the tip during penetration into the soil — a new interpretation of penetrometer test data is possible. This paper presents a review of available interpretation methods for obtaining the undrained shear strength of soft soils, and ...

Liquefaction potential and piezocone response
A simple approximate analysis is presented for interpretation of cone penetration results when the cone resistance is affected by layering of soils with different stiffnesses. It is argued that the cone resistance senses the presence of a nearby layer elastically, and an approximate elastic analysis is developed to quantify ...
