Dynamic probing test and empirical formulas

Dynamic probing test and empirical formulas In situ investigations The purpose of the in situ investigations is to adopt appropriate techniques to allow the determination of the physical-mechanical characteristics of the soils. In-situ investigations include penetrometric tests commonly used for the physical-mechanical characterization of the significant subsoil volume. The combination of these tests with surveys,…

Liquefaction resistance of soil with Liquiter

Liquefaction resistance of soil with Liquiter Simplified procedure for evaluating liquefaction resistance of soils Following disastrous earthquakes that occurred in Alaska and Niigata (Japan in 1964), Seed and Idris (1971) proposed a simplified methodology for assessing the resistance to liquefaction of soils. This methodology has been selected and improved over the years (e.g. Seed, 1979;…
