Evaluation of liquefaction potential using cone penetration test (CPT) and standard penetration test (SPT) [PDF]
Abstract To evaluate soil resistance against liquefaction, a simplified procedure has been developed based on directly field soil testing. There are four recommended field tests, including CPT and SPT. Soil resistance to liquefaction is measured by the safety factor SF, which is the ratio between the capacity of the soil to resist ...

Standard Penetration Test Performance in Sandy Deposits [PDF]
This paper presents an equation to depict the penetration behavior during the standard penetration test (SPT) in sandy deposits. An energy balance approach is considered and the driving mechanism of the SPT sampler is conceptually modeled as that of a miniature open-ended steel pipe pile into sands.

Energy Ratio (ER) for the Standard Penetration Test Based on Measured Field Tests
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is often used to estimate the soil parameters for geotechnical design projects, using the NSPT index. However, these estimates are performed based on empirical correlations without any scientific basis.

Developing a Regionally Adaptable CPT-SPT Correlation Using Linear Regression and Genetic Algorithms
Establishing a correlation between the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) and the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is of significant importance for geotechnical engineering practice. A novel correlation between CPT-qt and SPT-N60 based on a genetic algorithm (GA)

Market structure, Regulation and the Speed of Mobile Network Penetration [PDF]
The speed of market penetration (i.e. diffusion) is an important summary measure of how well the market works for potential consumers of a new product. This paper identifies the structural features associated with rapid diffusion of mobile telephony.

Proposals of SPT-CPT and DPL-CPT correlations for sandy soils in Brazil
Field tests in geotechnical engineering are fundamental for identification of the underground conditions. The standard penetration test (SPT) is the most commonly used geotechnical approach.
