Use of functional cluster analysis of CPTU data for assessment of a subsoil rigidity
Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2018 This paper shows an example of the grouping of piezocone penetration test (CPTU) characteristics using functional data analysis, together with the results of clustering, in the form of a subsoil rigidity model.

, 1991 The piezocone test is an unsurpassed method of determining the strategraphy of all types of soils into which it can be pushed down. The method is well established for investigations in sand. In more fine-grained soils, increased use of the piezocone test would bring about a higher quality of the soil investigations in terms of determinations of ...

Pore Pressure Response and Dissipation of Piezocone Test in Shallow Silty Soil of Yellow River Delta
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Soil dilatancy and partial drainage have great influence on the consolidation coefficient assessment of silty soils with clay content of less than 30% in the Yellow River Delta using the CPTu. This paper discussed the effect of soil dilatancy and partial

Development of a Sinkhole Raveling Chart Based on Cone Penetration Test (CPT) Data [PDF]
, 2018 Naturally occurring sinkholes in Florida are formed when the soluble limestone bedrock weathers and creates cavities at its interface with the overburden finer-grained soils. The overburden soil then erodes into the limestone fissures, thus weakening the
