A CPTU‐Based Prediction Method for Undrained Shear Strength With Quantified Uncertainty

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The engineering properties of seabed soils are crucial to the foundation design of offshore structures. Among them, the undrained shear strength (su) is a key parameter for evaluating the shear failure resistance of saturated cohesive soils. Although empirical equations based on piezocone penetration tests (CPTU) offer a convenient approach for ...

An Ensemble Method for Soil Parameter Prediction Based on Multisource Data Fusion

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Site investigation is crucial in geotechnical engineering. The cone penetration test (CPT) and the multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASWs) are widely used as geotechnical and geophysical methods, respectively. CPT offers high precision but requires a high cost and only provides soil information at limited locations.

Hydromechanical Properties of Gas Hydrate‐Bearing Fine Sediments From In Situ Testing

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 123, Issue 11, Page 9615-9634, November 2018., 2018
Abstract The hydromechanical properties of gas hydrate‐bearing sediment are key in assessing offshore geohazards and the resource potential of gas hydrates. For sandy materials, such properties were proved highly dependent on hydrate content (Sh) as well as on their distribution and morphology.

Development of a Sinkhole Raveling Chart Based on Cone Penetration Test (CPT) Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 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
