This practical guide provides the best introduction to large deformation material point
method (MPM) simulations for geotechnical engineering. It provides the basic theory …

This paper presents numerical simulations of Cone Penetration Test (CPT) in water-
saturated soft soils taking into account pore pressure dissipation during installation. Besides …

The piezocone penetration test (CPTU) is commonly used to identify a soil's profile and
estimate its material properties. Depending on the soil type, ranging from clay to sand …

The piezocone penetration test (CPTU) is commonly used as a fast and economical tool to
identify soil profile and to estimate relevant material properties in soils ranging from fine to …

Precise stratigraphic characterization and assessment of soil parameters are essential for
agricultural and geotechnical engineering. The cone penetration test (CPT) has become one …

Cone penetration in soil is a complex process. The complexity arises partly from the
boundary-value problem itself, in which a penetrometer with a conical tip is pushed down at …

In offshore investigations, the dissipation test following penetration of a piezocone is
extensively used in cohesive soils to obtain the consolidation behavior. Compared with that …

The numerical simulation of real geomechanical problems often entails an high level of
complexity; indeed they are often characterized by large deformations, soil-structure …

Abstract The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) is the most popular in-situ test for onshore and
offshore site investigation. The standard penetration rate employed of 20±5 mm/s is well …

This article presents a model preparation methodology for simulating the seismic behavior of
a gentle slope in clay with the presence of a soft, weak layer employing centrifuge testing …
