Characterization of geotechnical variabilityGeotechnical variability is a complex attribute that results from many disparate sources of uncertainties. The three primary sources of geotechnical uncertainties are inherent variability, measurement error, and transformation uncertainty. Inherent soil variability is modeled as a random field, which can be described concisely by the coefficient of variation (COV) and scale of fluctuation.... ... hiện toàn bộ

Model for the prediction of shear strength with respect to soil suction Experimental studies on unsaturated soils are generally costly, time-consuming, and difficult to conduct. Shear strength data from the research literature suggests that there is a nonlinear increase in strength as the soil desaturates as a result of an increase in matric suction. Since the shear strength of an unsaturated soil is strongly related to the amount of water in the voids of the... ... hiện toàn bộ

Evaluating cyclic liquefaction potential using the cone penetration test Soil liquefaction is a major concern for structures constructed with or on sandy soils. This paper describes the phenomena of soil liquefaction, reviews suitable definitions, and provides an update on methods to evaluate cyclic liquefaction using the cone penetration test (CPT). A method is described to estimate grain characteristics directly from the CPT and to incorporate this into one ... ... hiện toàn bộ

Soil classification using the cone penetration test Several charts exist for evaluating soil type from electric cone penetration test (CPT) data. A new system is proposed based on normalized CPT data. The new charts are based on extensive data available from published and unpublished experience worldwide. The new charts are evaluated using data from a 300 m deep borehole with wire-line CPT. Good agreement was obtained between samples and t... ... hiện toàn bộ

A model for the runout analysis of rapid flow slides, debris flows, and avalanches Runout analyses are used for risk assessment and design of remedial measures against rapid landslides such as debris flows, debris avalanches, rockslide avalanches, large-scale liquefaction failures, and slides of fill and mining waste. A continuum model has been developed to simulate the characteristics of these phenomena. The model is based on a Lagrangian solution of the equations of m... ... hiện toàn bộ

Interpretation of cone penetration tests — a unified approachThe electric cone penetration test (CPT) has been in use for over 40 years and is growing in popularity in North America. This paper provides some recent updates on the interpretation of some key geotechnical parameters in an effort to develop a more unified approach. Extensive use is made of the normalized soil behaviour type (SBTn) chart based on normalized cone resistance (Qt<... ... hiện toàn bộ

Strength of tree roots and landslides on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska The stability of slopes before and after removal of forest cover was investigated. Porewater pressures and shear strengths were measured and the soil properties were determined by laboratory and in situ tests. A model of the soil–root system was developed to evaluate the contribution of tree roots to shear strength. The computed safety factors are in general agreement with observed behavi... ... hiện toàn bộ

Submarine landslides: advances and challenges Due to the recent development of well-integrated surveying techniques of the sea floor, significant improvements were achieved in mapping and describing the morphology and architecture of submarine mass movements. Except for the occurrence of turbidity currents, the aquatic environment (marine and fresh water) experiences the same type of mass failure as that found on land. Submarine mass... ... hiện toàn bộ

Evaluation of geotechnical property variabilityTo evaluate geotechnical variability on a general basis that will facilitate the use of reliability-based design procedures, it is necessary to assess inherent soil variability, measurement error, and transformation uncertainty separately. The inherent variability and measurement error are addressed in a companion paper, and transformation uncertainty is addressed herein. A second-moment p... ... hiện toàn bộ
