The Shear Strength of Silt (9999)
After the direct shear apparatus had proved itself unsuitable for the investigation of the shear strength of silt, the shear deformation behaviour and the shear parameters were investigated in three...
As a continuation of the works submitted to the Fourth and Fifth Congresses, a variety of dynamic and static penetrometers were used in a series of tests conducted in a shaft, filled with sand and...
Pressuremeter, Penetrometer and Oedometer Tests (9999)
Comprehensive field tests made it possible to set up empirical relationships between the blow count of the standard penetration test (SPT), the light (LDP) and heavy dynamic probing (HDP), the cone...
A Common Stress-Strain-Relationship for Soils (9999)
The stress-strain-relationship for the determination of the soil compressibility for settlement prediction can be obtained from two different common tests: the triaxial compression test with Sigma...
Statistical Evaluation of Settlement Observations (9999)
The results of settlement observations for 148 foundations were evaluated together with the soil parameters and loading history. All types of soil and foundations are represented except pile...
