Investigation into the effect of uncertainty of CPT-based soil type estimation on the accuracy of CPT-based pile bearing capacity analysis [PDF]
, 2016 Cone Penetration Test (CPT or CPTu) is commonly used for estimating soil types and also for the geotechnical design of pile foundation. However, the level of agreement between the CPT-based soil types and the traditional identification of soil types ...

A Nonlinear Strength Criterion for Frozen Sulfate Saline Silty Clay with Different Salt Contents
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2018 It has been proven that the mechanical properties of frozen saline soils are different from frozen soils and unfrozen saline soils. In this paper, in order to study the effects of the salt contents on the strength characteristics of frozen soils, a ...
