Seismic piezocone penetration tests (SCPTu) with dissipation phases are particularly useful for geotechnical site characterization as they provide four independent readings with depth from a single sounding, as well as time-rate information. Methods of evaluating ...

Recent research shows that G0 applies to both static and dynamic properties, as well as to both undrained and drained loading conditions in geotechnical situations. Since the traditional penetration readings from the cone correspond to failure states, an entire ...
