<p>Although manual cone penetration testing in snow has been practised since the 1930&rsquo;s, modern hydraulically-driven CPT equipment has not been used. Collaboration with the British Antarctic Survey will allow the first use of commercial CPT equipment ...

This report explores the current practices of departments of transportation associated with cone penetration testing (CPT). The report examines cone penetrometer equipment options field testing procedures CPT data presentation and geostratigraphic profiling ...

Many classification and testing methods for shale, slaking rock, weak rock, and weathered rock have been developed. However, few of these methods are suitable for field use or are applicable to a wide range of material types. The purpose of this paper is to ...

This manual is the reference text used for the FHWA NHI course No. 132031 on Subsurface Investigations and reflects current practice for such. The planning, execution, and interpretation of geotechnical site explorations in natural soil and rock are presented ...

<p>A method is presented for the alalysis and prediction of single pile behaviour under maintained loading, based on the use of hyperbolic functions to describe individual shaft and base performance. When these funcitons are combined, and elastic pile shortening ...
