Abstract Model updating of dynamical systems has been attracting much attention because it
has a very wide range of applications in aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering, etc …

Flow liquefaction is a major design issue for large soil structures such as mine tailings
impoundments and earth dams. If a soil is strain softening in undrained shear and, hence …

Soils are permeable materials because of the existence of interconnected voids that allow
the flow of fluids when a difference in energy head exists. A good knowledge of soil …

This paper develops Bayesian approaches for underground soil stratum identification and
soil classification using cone penetration tests (CPTs). The uncertainty in the CPT-based soil …

The cone penetration test (CPT) has been widely used to determine the soil stratigraphy
(including the number N and thicknesses HN of soil layers) during geotechnical site …

In order to rapidly determine the hydraulic conductivity for both marine and deltaic deposits
in field, an approach is proposed to evaluate the hydraulic conductivity of soil using cone …

Engineers often want to estimate profiles of soil permeability (hydraulic conductivity) as part
of the site characterization process. Several methods have been proposed to estimate the …

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 …

Identification of soil stratification is vital to geotechnical structural design and construction
where the soil layer, soil type and properties are necessary inputs. Although methods are …

Classification and stratification (or zonation) of subsurface soils are important tasks in
geotechnical site investigation. Due to the limit of time, budget, or access to subsurface soils …
