Study on the Influence of Pile Installation Disturbance on the Settlement of Composite Foundation

Applied Sciences
The disturbance generated during the pile installation process increased the compressibility of the soil between the piles, thereby causing additional settlement of the composite foundation.

Determination of the Engineering Properties of Submarine Soil Layers in the Bohai Sea Using the Piezocone Penetration Test

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2018
Due to the complexity of marine geotechnical engineering, the harsh operating environments, loose subsea soils, and high water contents, it is extremely difficult to obtain soil samples while maintaining the in situ conditions in offshore areas.

Tailings Behavior Assessment Using Piezocone Penetration Test

Minerals
Intensive economic development is associated with an increasing demand for raw materials, including minerals. An illustrative example of this issue is the development of the copper industry. A significant problem arising from the scale of copper production is the management of an ever-growing amount of post-flotation tailings.

Mechanism of piezocone penetration tests under partial drainage conditions

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
In the natural state, the constraints of soils are between completely drained and undrained conditions. Due to the influences of the probe size, penetration velocity, soil properties and other factors, the partial drainage conditions will occur during ...

Estimation of soil permeability

Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2016
Soils are permeable materials because of the existence of interconnected voids that allow the flow of fluids when a difference in energy head exists. A good knowledge of soil permeability is needed for estimating the quantity of seepage under dams and ...
