The paper presents the geological–geotechnical characterisation of the very soft organic
plastic slightly overconsolidated Sarapuí II clay. Dissipation tests showed no artesian …

Benchmarking is of significant importance in geological and geotechnical engineering, for
testing and verifying innovative soil investigation methods and foundation solutions. This …

In situ inflow and outflow permeability tests with the BAT probe at Sarapuí II soft clay test site
are presented. A description of the BAT permeability test is provided, discussing its …

The relationship between sea-level change, soil formation and stress history of a very soft
clay deposit Page 1 AIMS Geosciences, 5(3): 461–479. DOI: 10.3934/geosci.2019.3.461 …

The Sarapui II research test site is a soft clay deposit located in a swampy area on the left
bank of the Sarapui river, near the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The test site is very well …

test site are presented. A description of the BAT permeability test is provided, discussing its …

The undrained remoulded shear strength of a clay, sur, is an important parameter in the
design of a number of geotechnical applications. In the case of onshore tests the value of sur …

The ability of in situ tests to detect the soil region most affected by an embankment on soft
clay was investigated. CPTU tests, vane tests, T-bar tests and SPTs have been performed in …

Dilatometer tests were performed in the very soft clay of Sarapuí test site, near Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, from 1985 to 2012. Different equipment has been used, from the initial …

Thick wall (6.6 mm wall thickness) plastic samplers, 97.2 mm in internal diameter (area ratio
of 29%), 700 mm in length (length of soil sample 640 mm), with a cutting edge angle of 23 …
