The mechanical properties of soil and rock in general have significant non-linearity, this is
due to the very complex composition of soil and rock [1]. Therefore, conventional methods in …

Shear wave velocity (Vs) is an important soil parameter to be known for earthquake-resistant
structural design and an important parameter for determining the dynamic properties of soils …

Soil classification methods currently rely on soil borings or cone/piezocone penetrometer
tests (CPT/CPTu). Literature provides several methods that classify soils based on two …

This paper discusses the use of mechanical cone penetration test CPTM for estimating the
soil unit weight of selected organic soils in Rzeszow site, Poland. A search was made for …

Increase in human population have placed a high demand on civil engineering projects
leading to high cost of conventional building composites. Adequate utilization of earth-based …

The soil unit weight is a relevant geotechnical and geological parameter in interpreting field
tests, estimating parameters, and developing designs. The most precise way to estimate the …

This paper discusses the use of the Casagrande Cup and Cone Penetrometer Methods for
determining the liquid limit of selected organic soils in in the south-eastern region of Poland …

This study was conducted to verify the usefulness of the laser diffractometer method for
determining the particle size distribution of selected organic soils from the Podkarpacie …

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are often used recently by researchers to solve complex
and nonlinear problems. Standard penetration test (SPT) and cone penetration test (CPT) …

This paper deals with the problem of determining the particle size distribution of selected
organic soils from the vicinity of Rzeszów (Poland), using a laser diffractometer method, the …
