Based on the shaking table test, liquefaction of silt under earthquake load and damage after are studied. The test results show that lower is relatively dense, pore pressure increases slowly, ratio can not reach initial state. However, stronger action, dense may also produce liquefaction, which indicates increase water has a great relationship with compactness intensity load. Because permeabili...

An initial application of CPT results is to evaluate soil type and soil stratigraphy. One of the more common CPT-based methods to estimate soil type is the chart suggested by Robertson et al (1986) based on cone resistance, qc and friction ratio, Rf. Although newer charts have been developed based on normalized parameters, the simple chart based on qc and Rf is still popular because it is easy ...
