soil compaction is an important aspect of agriculture and different methods are available to measure this parameter. one method is called the cone index; measuring the force required per unit area for penetration of a standard steel cone into the ground. cone penetrometers are used for cone index measurement. in this study, a tractor mounted, hydraulically-operated penetrometer was designed, bu...

In this paper, the discrete element method (DEM) is coupled with Lattice Boltzmann (LBM) to model cone penetration test (CPT) of a saturated granular media. The numerical was calibrated using one-dimensional (1D) consolidation theory. results obtained from 1D simulation showed good agreement analytical equation that proposed by Terzaghi. A series LBM–DEM simulations were carried out understand ...

A solution is developed for the evolution of buildup, steady, and postarrest dissipative pore-fluid pressure fields that develop around a finite-radius conical penetrometer advanced in a saturated linearly elastic porous medium. The analog with cone penetrometer testing is direct and is used to enable continuous distributions of permeability and diffusivity to be determined with depth. This ana...

In the simple buildings, shallow foundations can be used to support construction above them. This foundation has various types, including type of footplate which calculated using Terzaghi equation. equation, it requires dimension parameters footing and soil material such as cohesion volume weight laboratory testing obtain it. Meanwhile, Schmertmann provides an equation bearing capacity factor i...

In construction work, foundation planning must be appropriately designed so that the stresses in do not exceed bearing capacity of soil below. This study aims to determine using Terzaghi method, Meyerhof and Hansen method as well analyze safety A3 building design on Yos Sudarso Induk Street, Palangka Raya City. The calculation results show value is lower than methods. obtained 375.567 kN/m2, 11...
