EQUIVALENT CPT METHOD FOR CALCULATING SHALLOW FOUNDATION SETTLEMENTS IN THE PIEDMONT RESIDUAL SOILS BASED ON THE DMT CONSTRAINED MODULUS APPROACH (2002)

The flat plate dilatometer test (DMT) is well-recognized for its ability to calculate settlements of shallow foundations in a practical manner in soil types ranging from sand to silt to clay. Within the Piedmont physiographic province, an equivalent method has been developed for the CPT to obtain constrained moduli for use in the same procedure as the DMT.
