Estimating Embankment Settlement from Piezocone Penetration Test Data

open access: yesTransportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2011
The in situ piezocone penetration test (PCPT) has been widely used by the geotechnical engineering community for subsurface soil identification and classification and for the evaluation of many engineering soil properties, such as consolidation parameters.

An analytical study of the effect of penetration rate on piezocone tests in clay

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, 2006
Finite element cavity expansion analysis investigating the effect of penetration rate on piezocone tests in clay is presented. A coupled analysis was performed, in which the rate of cavity expansion was linked to the penetration rate of the cone and the cone angle, using the assumption that the deformation was wholly radial, and took place only between

Numerical study of partially drained penetration and pore pressure dissipation in piezocone test

open access: yesActa Geotechnica, 2016
The piezocone penetration test (CPTU) is commonly used as a fast and economical tool to identify soil profile and to estimate relevant material properties in soils ranging from fine to coarse-grained. Moreover, in the case of fine-grained soils (clays and silts), the consolidation coefficient and the permeability can be estimated through the ...

Interpretation of piezocone penetration and dissipation tests in sensitive Leda clay at Gloucester test site

open access: yesCanadian Geotechnical Journal, 2018
A modified piezocone penetration test (CPTu) analytical solution based on spherical cavity expansion and critical state soil mechanics (SCE–CSSM) is employed for assessing yield stress, undrained shear strength, and flow parameters in sensitive Leda clay at the Gloucester test site.

Numerical simulation of deep penetration of a Piezocone in a Strain-Softening clay

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 2016
This paper presents a numerical model which has the ability to simulate Piezocone penetration starting from the ground surface in saturated soft clays. The constitutive behavior of the soil is modeled using the Modified Cam Clay model and the model has ...

Multifunctional Piezocone Penetration Testing in Geotechnical Practice

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2011
Cone penetration test is a fast and efficient in-situ test technique. With the development of sensor technology and the use of new probes, such test is employed in more fields and reveals more soil parameters. Based on advanced CPTU equipment, soil types were classified.
