<p>Laboratory tests are often used to understand dynamic soil behavior and to develop cyclic soil constitutive models. However, the loading paths in lab tests are different from those in the field, resulting in the inaccurate prediction of site response. An ...

<p>Cyclic1D is a nonlinear Finite Element program for one-dimensional (1D) lateral dynamic site-response simulations. The program operates in the time domain, allowing for linear (Hughes 1987) and nonlinear studies. Nonlinearity is simulated by incremental ...

<p>Many empirical and theoretical CPT interpretation methods are broadly accepted and used in practice. These approaches tend to consider whether the cone penetration is drained or undrained, and then will consider the soil as either &ldquo;sand&rdquo; or ...

The cone penetrometer allows for the soil type to be determined from the measured values of cone resistance and sleeve friction.The paper references several published methods of soil profiling. All but two of these apply cone resistance plotted against the ...
