A soil classification system is used to group soils according to shared qualities or
characteristics based on simple cost-effective tests. The most common soil classification …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) geotechnical site stratification is of vital importance in
geotechnical practice. In this study, a set of methods for 3D site stratification based on CPTu …

Empirical correlations between different geotechnical parameters are frequently sought after
by exploiting multivariate databases. An example are estimations of total unit weight from …

Global interest in the geotechnical stability of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) has burgeoned
over the past decade. In particular, the widely accessible video of the catastrophic failure of …

Geotechnical profile delineation is an important aspect of the geotechnical engineering
design process. The Cone Penetration Test (CPTu) is widely used for this purpose, as it is …

Results from piezocone penetration (CPTu) and flat dilatometer tests (DMT) can be used to
evaluate the stratigraphy, soil types, and a suite of engineering parameters that are needed …

The Tiller-Flotten research site was developed through the Norwegian GeoTest site (NGTS)
project. The site consists of a more than 50 m thick marine clay deposit. The top 7.5 m of the …

Full-flow penetrometers such as the cylindrical T-bar and spherical ball are now being used
widely in soft seabed sediments due to their advantages of larger projected area and …

In geotechnical field investigations, cone penetration tests (CPT) are increasingly used for
ground characterization of fine‐grained soils. Test results are different parameters that are …

An effective stress limit plasticity solution developed at the Norwegian Institute of
Technology (NTH) provides a theoretical evaluation of the effective stress friction angle …
