In this study, an instrumented dynamic cone penetrometer incorporated with time domain
reflectometry (IDPT) is developed to provide portable in-situ penetrometer for evaluation of …

Freeze-thaw induced change in the strength behaviour of the underlying loess is an
important cause of the instability of artificially excavated and natural loess slopes. The loess …

Characteristics of ice constituent and soil particles primarily determine the mechanical
properties of fill materials in extreme regions. The objective of this study is to investigate the …

Abstract Evaluation of the strength and stiffness of compacted geo-materials is required to
ensure that it has sufficient bearing capacity and stiffness to the acting loads. In this study, a …

The resilient modulus of subgrade should be estimated for pavement designs that undergo
repetitive loading from vehicular movement. In this study, an in-situ modulus detector (IMD) …

The characteristics and depths of the old roadbed layers must be assessed for the
serviceability and rehabilitation of aging road pavements. This study's objective is to detect …

For the efficient management of geo-infrastructures in the field, engineering properties of the
subgrade should be reliably and rapidly investigated. The objective of this study is to …

Ground moisture content and strength properties are the most important factors for a proper
assessment of ground stability. This study developed a dynamic cone penetrometer …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of hammer weight and drop height on
compression stress, transferred energy, and strength index in loose layer. An instrumented …

Subsurface characterization is essential for a successful infrastructure design and
construction. This paper demonstrates the use of an instrumented cone penetrometer (ICP) …
