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,…
DetailsIn the technical field it is important to document the works through photographic reports and geo-locate them on the map. The technology we have today allows you to easily get your position in real time. With few economic resources can get smartphones, tablets and PCs, equipped with GPS. Of course in the case of investigations…
DetailsLiquefaction 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;…
