Prediction of Load-Settlement Curves by the DMT in an Unsaturated Tropical Soil Site

August 01, 2019

Several methods for prediction of the load-settlement curves of shallow foundations have been proposed based on in-situ testing data. However, the good accuracy of such prediction depends on the definition of appropriate soil stiffness. Seasonal variability and its influence on the soil behavior need to be considered for unsaturated tropical soils. In t...

The Up-Hole Seismic Test Together with the SPT: Description of the System and Method

June 06, 2018
A proper geotechnical site characterization has to identify the geometry of relatively homogeneous zones and define indices, strength and stiffness properties of the soils within these zones. The most widely used in situ test to define the stratigraphical profile and to estimate geotechnical parameters is the Standard Penetration Test (SPT). Although it is widel...
