Analysis of piezocone penetration under different drainage conditions with the two-phase Material Point Method [PDF]
, 2016 The piezocone penetration test (CPTU) is commonly used to identify the soil profile and to estimate material properties. Depending on the soil type, ranging from clay to sand, undrained, partially drained or drained conditions may occur during cone ...

Assessment of Soil Tunnel Interaction in Sand Soil
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019 Abstract In this study, series of shaking table tests were carried out to investigate the effect of tunnel model depth and direction of ground acceleration on the ground surface settlement and the dynamic earth pressure on the tunnel wall. Box tunnel model is embedded in dry and saturated soil (Karbala Sand).

Effect of Sand and Sand‐Lime Piles on the Behavior of Expansive Clay Soil
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021 Expansive clay soil causes serious problems to many structures due to its swelling and shrinkage during wet and dry seasons. With the existence of expansive soil in Ahkmim new city, Sohag governorate, Egypt, some light buildings, road pavements, and buried pipelines have shown some damage.
