Estimating Hydraulic Conductivity of Overconsolidated Soils Based on Piezocone Penetration Test (PCPT)

open access: yesInfrastructures, 2021
Overconsolidated (OC) soils may develop a low or negative pore pressure during PCPT. Thus, it is challenging to develop an “on-the-fly” estimation of hydraulic conductivity from PCPT results.

Classification of soft clay in Jiangsu Province based on piezocone penetration tests

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2021
The classification results of soft soils in Jiangsu Province are derived through the CPTU data. The soil classification methods based on the CPTU data are reiviewed, then the SBT (soil behavior type) method and the Ic (soil index) method are chosen to ...

Effects of subsurface cavity expansion in clays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Subsurface cavity expansion in clay induced by compaction grouting can generate upward displacement of clay and/or increase in effective stress leading to consolidation, resulting in settlement compensation and/or shear strength enhancement respectively.

Mechanical characterisation of lacustrine clay by interpreting spatial variability in CPTU measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Transportation infrastructure is common in highly populated areas near the major lakes in the Swiss 'Mittelland', where extensive deposits of normally consolidated post glacial clays have formed.

Discussion of “Site observations of weathered granitic soils subjected to cementation and partial drainage using SCPTU” [J Rock Mech Geotech Eng 15 (2023) 984–996]

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Comprehensive data from in situ and laboratory tests in residual soil have been presented by Zhang et al. (2023). A number of issues addressed in the paper have been the interest of the discussers, namely the characterisation and behaviour of residual ...

Characterization of soil permeability in the former Lake Texcoco, Mexico

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2019
The geotechnical subsoil conditions of the former Lake Texcoco represent a complex sequence of highly compressible lacustrine clays interbedded with layers and seams of harder and more permeable materials.

Insights from CPTu and Seismic Cone Penetration Testing in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2021
Seismic hazard assessment often relies on static piezocone penetration tests (CPTu) to estimate the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) and for the evaluation of in situ soil behavior.

Estimating hydraulic conductivity from piezocone soundings

open access: yesGéotechnique, 2011
A method for estimating the hydraulic conductivity of soils from piezocone penetration tests is suggested in this paper. By invoking Darcy's law over the finite time required for an increment of cone penetration, it is argued that there will be some water movement through the soil around the cone, albeit very small if the soil is very fine grained ...
