This paper presents statistical correlations between the static Young modulus Es and the normalized SPT penetration resistance N60 (corresponding to 60% of the theoretical energy of the SPT test) for preliminary estimation of settlements in sedimentary sands. The cor...
View ArticleCorrelations between CPT and SPT in sands are presented in this paper for different sand densities. Such proposition is based on the experience obtained with the use of piezocone whose penetration in sands occurs commonly
under drained condition. The SPT penetration, on the other hand, is much faster, occurring under a partially drained cond...
A new kind of reinforced Deep Cement Mixing (DCM) pile, namely: Stiffened Deep Cement Mixing (SDCM) pile is introduced to mitigate the problems due to the low flexural resistance, lack of quality control in the field and unexpected failure of DCM pile. The SDCM pile consists of DCM pile reinforced with precast concrete core pile. Previously, the full sc...
View ArticleIn the design and evaluation of the behavior of embankments on soft clay foundations, geotechnical characterization, along with instrumentation for measurements involving pore pressure and displacements (vertical and horizontal), are required in order to efficiently elaborate a construction. This paper presents the results of stability analysis, and sta...
