A field investigation was performed to retest liquefaction and nonliquefaction sitesfrom the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China.These sites were carefully investigated in 1978 and 1979 by using standard penetration test (SPT) and cone penetration test (CPT) ...

This paper describes the results of a detailed analysis of a loess deposit at the deep foundations test site established by the Kansas Department of Transportation. Multiple CPT, SPT, and pressuremeter tests were conducted as part of the investigation. This ...

<p>This article explains how to find required criteria to prevent the liquefaction phenomenon for soil improvement in the Shahid Rajaee Port Project, Bandar Abbas, Iran. The site investigation shows some loose to medium dense sandy layers in different depths. ...

<p>The present process of harmonization of Romanian seismic codes with European standards requires that the effect of local site conditions be included through the soil factor, S, which must be included in the National Annex of Eurocode 8. The modern codes ...

<p>In this paper the results of SPT and PLT tests on gravely soils of Tehran alluvium are evaluated. Due to the results obtained the correlation between SPT results (N1) 60 and modulus of subgrade reaction (Ks) are also presented for gravely soils. The complete ...

The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) have become industry standards for subsurface geotechnical investigations using small diameter (&lt;8-in. [20-cm]) borings and soundings. Both procedures have evolved over a period of 100 ...

This paper presents new correlations for assessment of the likelihood of initiation (or “triggering”) of soil liquefaction. These new correlations eliminate several sources of bias intrinsic to previous, similar correlations, and provide greatly reduced overall ...

<p>In this paper is presented a critical re-evaluation of the factors CN and K using a relative state parameter index R. This paper expands upon the recent theoretical developments and presents relations that facilitate their implementation in engineering ...

<p>This paper presents a summary of design methodologies commonly adopted in Malaysia for bored piles under axial compression together with a brief discussion on the construction aspects of bored piles.</p>

This paper is about the predictions of liquefaction potential by torsional shear compares favorably with the predictions of standard penetration tests for liquefaction potential.
