Couverture de l’ouvrage Piezocone and Cone Penetration Test (CPTu and CPT) Applications in Foundation Engineering

Piezocone and cone penetration tests (CPTu and CPT) applications in foundation engineering includes different approaches for determining the bearing capacity of shallow foundations, along with methods for determining pile bearing capacity and settlement concepts. The use of soft computing (GMDH) neural networks related to CPT records and Geotechnical parameters are also discussed. In addition, different cases regarding the behavior of foundation performance using case records, such as shallow foundation, deep soil improvement, soil behavior classification (SBC), and bearing capacity are also included.

1. Geotechnical engineering
2. Background to foundation engineering
3. CPT equipment, performance, and records
4. Geotechnical parameters from CPT records
5. Soil behavior classification (SBC) using CPT and CPTu records
6. CPT in foundation engineering; scale effect and bearing capacity
7. CPT and CPTu applications for deep foundationebearing capacity
8. CPT and CPTu for foundation settlement and loadedisplacement (PΔ) estimation
9. CPT & CPTu for ground modification
10. CPT-based soft computing implementations in foundation engineering
11. Uncertainty and reliability in foundation engineering: CPT-Based approach
12. CPT and CPTu databases in foundation engineering

  • Provides the latest on CPT and CPTu performance in geotechnical engineering, i.e., bearing capacity, settlement, liquefaction, soil classification and shear strength prediction
  • Introduces soft computing methods for processing soil properties and pile bearing capacity via CPT and CPTu
  • Explains CPT and CPTu testing methods which allows for the continuous, or virtually continuous, record of ground conditions
